How long is the evaluation period?

The Nextedy GANTT evaluation period is limited to 30 days from the date of installation. If you need additional time for evaluation, contact Nextedy support to request an extended time-limited license. Upon expiration, the software automatically disables itself until you obtain a valid license certificate.
The Gantt widget will stop functioning after the 30-day evaluation period. Plan your evaluation timeline accordingly and reach out for an extension before it expires.

Can I extend my trial license beyond 30 days?

Yes, trial licenses can be extended beyond the initial 30-day period. Contact Nextedy support to request a continuation of your evaluation. This is useful when your team needs more time to complete the evaluation process or when procurement timelines are longer than expected.

What licensing model does Gantt use?

Nextedy uses a subscription-based licensing model for new licenses. Perpetual licenses are available only as upgrades for existing customers. The pricing structure distinguishes between two user types:
User TypeDescription
Active UsersUsers who interact with the Gantt chart (editing, scheduling, configuring)
Server UsersConnect license covering all users with read-only access
Since March 2022, only subscription licenses are available for new customers. Perpetual licenses remain available as renewal options for existing perpetual license holders.

Can I use my license on multiple Polarion server nodes?

Yes, licenses can be used on both nodes of a multi-node Polarion deployment. There is no restriction on deploying your Gantt license across clustered or high-availability Polarion server configurations.

What happens when my license expires or is invalid?

When the Gantt license is invalid or expired, a license status panel appears at the top of the Gantt widget with an appropriate message and contact information. The panel displays one of three states: valid (ok), approaching expiry (warning), or expired (expired). The license status is checked once at startup when the widget loads.

What is the difference between an expired license and expired maintenance?

An expired license prevents the Gantt widget from functioning entirely, displaying a license panel with contact information. Expired maintenance means your license is still active, but you are no longer entitled to software updates or new feature releases. You can continue using the currently installed version, but you cannot upgrade to newer versions until maintenance is renewed.

Where can I find the license administration settings?

You can access the Gantt administration settings by clicking the gear icon in the Gantt widget footer. This opens the administration page where you can view and manage license configuration. The Gantt version number is also displayed in the widget footer for reference. For complete licensing setup instructions, see Licensing and User Access.
