Please note that licenses purchased by March 2024, 3 will not be affected by this change in license form.

Two license types: “perpetual license” and “annual license”

In addition to the "perpetual license," which allows you to use amCharts forever after purchasing it once, we have added a new "annual license," which is ideal for projects with a limited development period.

If you have an annual license, projects created during the subscription period will remain available indefinitely after the subscription ends.
*Subscription must be valid only during the development period using amCharts

One license (per-seat) per developer, unlimited number of development targets!

Previously, the number of amcharts licenses was calculated based on the number of websites and projects, but from April 2024, 4, it will be calculated based on the number of developers.

From now on, one license will be required for each developer, but the number of websites and projects that can be developed with one license will be unlimited.

■ Usage example 1:
If "one SaaS website" is developed by a team consisting of "three developers", "three SaaS licenses" are required.

■ Usage example 2:
If "5 websites" are being developed by "2 developers", "2 Basic licenses" are required.

New license name

Basic : License for public websites where users do not need to log in

SaaS : License for SaaS websites that require users to log in

OEM : License for developing redistributable WEB/Mobile/Desktop applications

Extended OEM : License for the development of software tools, use among multiple affiliates, and the creation of "white label" relicensed applications

About the support subscription “amPlus subscription”

  • amPlus will also require "one contract per developer" from April 2024, 4. The number of contracts determines the number of people who can contact amCharts support.
  • For amPlus contracts signed by March 2024, 3, the number of eligible developers will remain unlimited until the next update (not affected by this change in license form).
  • Current amPlus contracts can be renewed under existing conditions until July 2024, 7.
