ABP

Quick answers

1. What is the ABP Platform?

   ABP Platform is a comprehensive infrastructure for application development based on .NET and ASP.NET Core platforms. It provides an open-source framework consisting of hundreds of NuGet and NPM packages with modular, microservice-compatible architecture, complete application structure, and robust infrastructure. It fills the gap between plain ASP.NET Core and complex requirements of modern business software, allowing developers to focus on business code rather than boilerplate.

2. What are the differences between free and commercial licenses?

   Free open-source ABP license includes the core framework, basic startup templates, basic modules, basic themes and community edition of ABP Studio. Commercial licenses offer additional features including more startup templates like microservice, professional application modules, full-featured UI theme, professional editions of ABP Studio, ABP Suite for code generation, more mobile startup options, and premium support.

3. How many developers can work on ABP solutions with a license?

   ABP licenses are issued per developer. Different license types come with varying developer limits. Team, Business and Enterprise licenses each include 3 developer seats. You can add more developers to any license type whenever you need.

4. Can I upgrade my license type?

   You can upgrade to a higher license by paying the difference during your active license period. When you upgrade, you get the benefits of the new plan, but the upgrade does not change the license expiry date. You can also add new developer seats to your existing license.
