License

License Overview#

Higson Studio requires a valid license to operate. Without a loaded license, Higson Studio will be blocked and access to all features will be unavailable.

License Protection#

Starting from version 4.3, Higson introduces a license protection system with Runtime usage diagnostics and clear notifications inside Higson Studio about upcoming renewal deadlines. From now on, users:

  • Receive clear, progressive notifications about expiring licenses, without blocking the Runtime.
  • Get improved service support - environment analysis based on a diagnostic file.
  • Benefit from greater security - easy detection of system use approaching license expiration thanks to visible, escalating alerts.
  • Maintain consistency with the Diagnostic Panel - license and diagnostic data become part of a broader monitoring ecosystem.

Production License#

A production license must be loaded on every production environment. To obtain a production license, contact oktawia.jakubik@decerto.com

Developer License#

Starting from version 4.3, a developer license is required for all non-production environments. The developer license is unlimited in terms of both the number of CPU cores and its duration. This means it can be used without any restrictions on the number of CPU cores and has no expiration date. Clients migrating from earlier versions of Higson are encouraged to reach out for a developer license. To obtain one, contact:

Trial License#

Users interested in testing Higson can now run the environment on their own infrastructure and work with Higson for 3 months under a developer license, with no obligations.
