Our standard licenses don’t allow for redistribution. Therefore, if you want to redistribute Duende IdentityServer as part of a product to your customers, you'll need a redistribution license.

The redistribution license is bound to a product you create and allows for both self-hosting (SaaS, or on behalf of your customers), as well as redistribution to a customer’s on-premises or cloud infrastructure (or combinations of that).

For every redistribution package, you can either purchase a license for a fixed number of client applications, or for an unlimited number of client applications for more flexibility and support.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a variety of licensing options designed for your architectural and business requirement needs. Not sure which license is right for you, or require a custom package? Reach out to our sales team to learn more.

Do you offer trial or development licenses?

Duende IdentityServer is free for development, testing and personal projects, but production use requires a license.

You do not need a license for development, testing, or trial. Download and use our library from NuGet and get started with trial mode. Start learning with the Duende IdentityServer quickstart tutorials.

What if I want to upgrade my license in the future?

You can upgrade the license at any point in time. We will issue you a new license for a new term and provide credit for the remaining time on any existing licenses on a prorated basis.
