Licensing
========================

Kasm Workspaces Community edition is free to download and install for testing, non-profits and non-commercial activities.\
It is limited to 5 concurrent sessions and community support via our public issue tracker.

Pricing for Kasm Workspaces Professional and Enterprise tiers are available in two licensing models.

* **Per Named User**
  This license agreement is based upon the number of users registered in the system. This agreement is best for a fixed
  number of high volume users as they will always have access to a kasm provided the server resources are available.

* **Per Concurrent Session**
  This license agreement is based upon the number of sessions run at one time. These licenses are slightly more expensive as they
  do not have a limit on users but are best for situations when many users may need access to sessions but at separate times or not on a regular basis.
