Licensing

What the FREE Edition offers

The FREE Edition is the default license (when you start CTFreak without a license key) of CTFfreak, which provides access to all features with a few limitations:

• Only one task execution can be processed at a time (same for sub-executions), so all tasks will be executed sequentially, regardless of the scheduling.

• You are able to:

  • Create a maximum of 10 tasks

  • Add 1 parameter per task

  • Create a maximum of 3 users

These limitations are quite bearable for personal use:

• Scheduled backup of a Nextcloud server, a WordPress blog

• Home automation (Web UI to call up a webhook to close the shutters, turn on the lights, etc.)

Or a small company:

• Chained backups of the website, mail server and ERP

• Generation and sending of weekly reports by email

• Website or API monitoring

What the STARTUP Edition offers

The STARTUP Edition includes all the features of the FREE Edition plus:

• Concurrency: You can execute tasks concurrently.

• You are now able to:

  • Create a maximum of 25 tasks

  • Add a maximum of 2 parameters per task

  • Create a maximum of 5 users

• Custom logo: You can add your own logo (for example, that of your company) on the login page and in the header of the side menu.

• Support:

  • You benefit from email support at support@ctfreak.com with 2 priority support requests / year.

  • Non-priority support requests are processed when there are no priority support requests pending for all our customers.

  • Response time is usually two business days (Monday - Friday, 8AM - 5PM UTC−04:00), and one business day for critical issues.

  • Support requests must originate from the JYP Software account email address used to purchase the license.

What the PRO Edition offers

The PRO Edition includes all the features of the STARTUP Edition plus:

• Unlimited tasks: You’re no longer limited by the number of tasks you can create.

• Unlimited task parameters: You’re no longer limited by the number of parameter you can add to a task.

• Unlimited users: You’re no longer limited by the number of users you can create.

• Support: You benefit from email support at support@ctfreak.com with 2 priority support requests / semester.

What the BUSINESS Edition offers

The BUSINESS Edition includes all the features of the PRO Edition plus:

• The option of using PostgreSQL as CTFreak’s backend database instead of the default embedded SQLite database, giving a performance boost for certain demanding use cases.

• Support: You benefit from email support at support@ctfreak.com with 2 priority support requests / month.

How to upgrade my license?

You can upgrade your license at any time by purchasing a license key.

How to activate my license key ?

Once you have your license key:

• Log in to your CTFreak instance as an administrator

• Go to Settings → License → Edit license

• Enter your license key and validate

How to extend my license?

In the 12 months before your license expires, you can extend it at a reduced cost by logging into your customer area.

In which cases will I switch back to the FREE Edition?

Your CTFreak instance will automatically switch back to the FREE Edition when:

• Your license key expires or is revoked

• Your license key is used on another instance of CTFreak

• The validity of your license key could not be verified for several days

• The license type is not compatible with your current configuration (e.g. use of a Pro Edition license with a PostgreSQL database backend)

• You remove your license key

Note that in this case tasks can no longer be edited as long as you have more than 8 tasks or your task has more than one parameter, but you can still execute them sequentially.
