Licensing

Rebex Buru SFTP Server (hereafter Product) is licensed on a per-machine basis - a valid license is required for every machine on which you run the Product (see the exceptions below). You can have an unlimited number of users or sessions on each licensed server.

If you run multiple virtual machines on one physical hardware system, you must obtain a license for every virtual machine running the Product.

When migrating the installation to a new server, you are allowed to temporarily exceed the number of purchased licenses for the period strictly necessary to perform the migration.

The number of licenses purchased also covers the same number of passive servers in a failover cluster as long as the support contract is active (by default, 1 year). Such additional servers cannot act as regular load-balancing servers. In an active/active scenario, you will need a license for each server.

For business use, please buy a commercial license. This includes development, staging, and testing environments.

For personal, non-profit, or academic use, get the non-profit license for free.

Purchased license keys can be found in your member pages.
