FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about Sandcastle licensing.

What counts as "production use"?

Any deployment that serves real users, processes real data, or runs as part of a business operation. Internal tools used by your team for day-to-day work also count as production.

Can I use it for free during development?

Yes. The Community plan covers local development, testing, CI/CD pipelines, demos, prototypes, personal projects, and open-source contributions. No restrictions.

What happens after the BSL Change Date (2030)?

The license automatically converts to Apache 2.0. After that date, all versions released before it become fully open source with no production restrictions.

Is there a free tier for startups?

If you're a bootstrapped startup with fewer than 5 people and under $100k ARR, reach out - we offer discounted or free production licenses on a case-by-case basis.

Do I need a license per server?

No. The Pro license covers your entire team (up to 10 members) regardless of how many servers or instances you run. Enterprise is unlimited.

Can I modify the source code?

Yes. All plans allow you to modify, fork, and create derivative works. Your modifications remain under BSL-1.1 terms (or Apache 2.0 after 2030).

How do I get an invoice for my company?

Pro and Enterprise plans include commercial invoices. Email tom@pflanzer.cz with your company details and we'll send a proper invoice.

What if I need custom terms?

Enterprise plan includes custom license agreements. If you need specific clauses (indemnification, data processing, SLA), we can work with your legal team.
