License Types and Evaluation Periods

License Types

License Type	Duration	Description
Evaluation (Primary)	30 days from installation	Full-featured evaluation for determining product fit
Evaluation (Secondary)	10 days from qualified update	Extended evaluation after a qualified software update
Standard	Per agreement	Full license for production use, obtained via License Certificate

Evaluation Period Rules

Primary Evaluation Period

Property	Value
Duration	30 days from date of installation
Functionality	Full product capabilities
Purpose	Internal evaluation to determine if the software meets requirements
Expiration behavior	Software is automatically disabled

Secondary Evaluation Period

Property	Value
Duration	10 days from date of qualified software update
Trigger	Qualified update of the software
Purpose	Re-evaluation after a significant update

Upon expiration of the evaluation period, the Gantt software is automatically disabled. You must obtain a License Certificate for perpetual use or cease using the software. Attempting to disable or remove the automatic disabling feature violates the license agreement.

License State Indicators

The Gantt displays a license panel with status information based on the current license state:

License State	Panel Variant	Behavior
Valid	`ok`	License panel is hidden; Gantt operates normally
Warning	`warning`	License panel appears with a warning message (approaching expiry)
Expired	`expired`	License panel appears with expiration message; Gantt functionality is restricted
Invalid	Error	Inline warning banner appears with contact information

Maintenance Expiration

Separate from license validity, the Gantt tracks maintenance status:

State	Description
Maintenance active	Software updates and support are available
Maintenance expired	Software continues to work but updates are not available; a maintenance renewal is required for new versions

An expired maintenance period does not disable the Gantt. The software continues to operate, but you cannot install newer versions without renewing maintenance.

License Check Endpoint

The Gantt checks license status at startup by calling a server API endpoint:

Property	Value
Endpoint	`GET /polarion/gantt/admin/api/license`
Timing	Called once at Gantt startup
Response	Returns license validity, expiry date, and a human-readable message

Multi-Node Deployment

Licenses can be used across multiple Polarion cluster nodes:

Scenario	Supported
Single server deployment	Yes
Multi-node cluster	Yes, same license on all nodes

Extended Evaluation

If you need more than 30 days for evaluation, contact Nextedy to request an extended time-limited license.

Configuration Example

Check the license status from the admin page:

https://your-polarion.example.com/polarion/#/administration/gantt/setup

The license panel appears at the top of the Gantt widget when the license is approaching expiry or has expired. If you see the license panel, contact your administrator or visit the Nextedy support portal.
