License terms

1. What a license grants

A ProxDR license is a subscription that entitles you to run ProxDR to protect a number of DR Site Pairs, for one year, with access to online activation, offline tokens, and product updates for the term. A DR Site Pair is one production site paired with one recovery site — with any number of nodes, hosts, or virtual machines. Every license tier includes the complete feature set; nothing is held back.

Each license key activates against a single ProxDR controller (site) at a time. You can move a key to a new or rebuilt controller yourself from your My licenses page. Keys are for your own use and may not be shared, resold, or published.

2. The Home Lab (non-commercial) license

The Home Lab license is a reduced-price tier offered in the spirit of the Proxmox community — so individuals can run real disaster recovery at home without an enterprise budget. It is licensed only for non-commercial use, as defined below.

Non-commercial use means use by you as an individual where all of the following are true:

• ✓The ProxDR controller and the Proxmox systems it protects are owned and operated by you personally — not by a company, employer, client, or other organization.
• ✓You use it for personal projects, self-education, experimentation, or a home lab.
• ✓Neither ProxDR nor the workloads it protects are used to generate revenue, deliver a product or service, or support the operations of any business or organization — whether or not money changes hands.

The following require a Business license (this list is illustrative, not exhaustive):

• ✕Use by, at, or on behalf of a company or business — including a sole proprietorship or a one-person company.
• ✕Protecting workloads that run a business, a paid or ad-supported service, an online store, or a client's systems.
• ✕Use by an employer's IT — protecting corporate, office, or work infrastructure of any size.
• ✕Use by a managed service provider, reseller, consultant, or hosting provider on behalf of others.
• ✕Use by an organization — non-profit, school, or government body — for its operations. (Non-profit and education pricing is available; contact us.)

Monetizing content about your home lab (a blog, videos, streams) does not by itself make your use commercial. Using ProxDR to protect the systems that produce or serve that content as a business does.

3. The Business license

Any use that is not non-commercial as defined above requires a Business license. Business licensing is sold as a single pair or in volume packs (5, 10, and 25 pairs) at a lower per-pair rate. For deployments larger than 25 pairs, or for MSP / multi-tenant arrangements, contact us.

Upgrading from Home Lab to Business is simply purchasing a Business license and activating the new key. There is no data migration or reinstallation.

4. Choosing honestly, and compliance

We license Home Lab on good faith, the way the broader Proxmox and open-infrastructure community operates. When you buy a Home Lab license you confirm that your use is non-commercial. If your use later changes — you start a business, take it to work, or begin protecting production systems — please move to a Business license.

We reserve the right to verify eligibility and, where use of a Home Lab license is clearly commercial, to require the correct license or to suspend the key. We won't be heavy-handed about honest home labs; this exists so the discounted tier stays available to the people it's meant for.

What license check-in sees. When online, ProxDR periodically checks in with our activation service to refresh its offline token. That check-in reports a small counts-only snapshot tied to your license key — the number of DR Site Pairs, protected guests, and source nodes. It never includes VM names, IP addresses, configuration, or any of your data, and the app keeps running normally if the check-in can't be reached. We use it only to match a license against its entitlement — for example, to notice a Home Lab key being used at clearly commercial scale.

5. Term, renewal, and the free trial

Licenses are annual subscriptions and renew until cancelled. You can manage or cancel billing anytime from your My licenses page. The 14-day free trial includes the full feature set so you can prove recovery works in your own environment before you pay; it is provided as-is, without warranty.
