Summary

Octopus Deploy licensing involves purchasing a perpetual license with one year of support and maintenance, allowing customers to use their current version indefinitely and upgrade during the maintenance period. The policy changes allow free patch releases if users qualify for the corresponding major or minor release, whereas major and minor releases require a valid maintenance date due to feature updates. To qualify for the 3.0 release, users with an existing 2.0 license must have a valid maintenance date on the release day or renew their license if expired. Octopus offers three editions of its software, with each edition allowing different limits on projects, deployment targets, and users, and customers can upgrade by paying the difference in price, which also resets the maintenance period. Each paid license permits three instances of Octopus Server, with discounts available for multiple licenses within a company, and customers can contact sales for upgrades or additional licenses.
