MarkLogic Server Licensing

MarkLogic Server is commercial software. License agreements are available from our friendly sales team. If you're a developer, you should grab a free Express license.

    - Allowed to use Express in production - Allowed to build an application on MarkLogic Express and sell that application Q: Does it mean I (single developer) can build a personal website, free community site, put ads in it, or other as long as it is not a commercial site, and sell the entire site to another company? Can you provide a specific limit on the type/purpose of production server?

      You can run a commercial site (ads are fine) or build a commercial application.   The Express license, however, is not transferable and you may not redistribute MarkLogic server.  This means, if you run a commercial service, you are fine.  If you sell the entire site to someone else, they would need to acquire their own license for MarkLogic (could be they could use Express, but they would need their own copy).  If you build an application that uses MarkLogic, you can sell that application, but you can not transfer your Express license or redistribute MarkLogic Server itself.  Your customer would need to acquire MarkLogic and a license on their own.  In other words, the Express license is not an "OEM" license. If you are interested in such a license, please contact sales@marklogic.com for more details.

        will MarkLogic Professional Services be able to work with us on a paid engagement to help develop a commercial service that we can move into production on a server running our copy of Express?  would we have the option to promote that environment to a system or cluster running MarkLogic Enterprise licenses, or would the solution have to be re-architected for MarkLogic 5 Enterprise edition?
        • dmcadmin
          In general, our Professional Services team works with Enterprise edition, but I'd recommend you reach out directly to your sales contact for more details about your specific needs and questions.  If you don't have a contact, please feel free to send email to sales@marklogic.com

    Does Express run on quad-core processors? I don't have dual-core machines anymore.
    • Geert Josten
      I run win7 64-bit with a single Intel i7 quad-core with hyperthreading using the Express license, so I guess the answer is yes.
    • dmcadmin
      Yes it does.  The limit is 2 CPUs (not 2 cores).

    "You can't use multiple copies of Express to make your own cluster." May we be allowed to create a cluster as long as we don't use it in production or share the cluster amongst a development team, or even perform development for that matter? So that those of us with standard edition licenses can learn to use enterprise features? However, it might not be very effective if the Express license disables some enterprise features, eh?

      If you'd like to try out the Enterprise features, contact sales@marklogic.com for an evaluation license.

    Are there still *other* license types as well? There used to be enterprise, educational, and community if I am not mistaken. And how do they compare to each other and to this new license type? There used to be a compare matrix. Is that still available?
    • dmcadmin
      The Express license covers all functionality available in the previous Community, Trial, and Academic licenses so we've dispensed with them as well as the matrix.
