What's the difference between the Developer and OEM/SaaS license?
+
The Developer license covers internal use across unlimited deployments (dev, staging, prod, and cloud) within your organization. The OEM/SaaS license is required if you distribute or provide an Axyra-powered product or service to customers or other third parties, and covers unlimited deployments across customer sites or SaaS instances. Offering Axyra-powered spreadsheet functionality for other developers or software to use requires a custom license.
Can I include Axyra in an application that I distribute to customers?
+
Yes. The OEM/SaaS license allows you to include Axyra in your application and deploy it to an unlimited number of customer sites or SaaS instances. However, if you offer spreadsheet processing as an API, SDK, library, or standalone service for others to build on or call directly, please contact us for a custom license.
What is the Axyra Migration Program?
+
If you're currently using another commercial spreadsheet library and switch to Axyra Sheets, you can receive an additional $100 migration credit on your first-year license.
Available to customers migrating from qualifying commercial spreadsheet libraries. Simple proof of an existing or recent license is sufficient. Mention the Axyra Migration Program when requesting a quote.
