## Bundled Components
|
||||
|
||||
**Building on BentoPDF? Hyper Compress is included.** The BentoPDF commercial license includes [Hyper Compress](https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf-hyper-compress) as a bundled component, so you don't need a separate Hyper Compress license to use it inside BentoPDF.
|
||||
|
||||
You may use a bundled component only through BentoPDF's own tools, as part of the BentoPDF application you deploy, including your branded or modified version of BentoPDF. You may not:
|
||||
|
||||
- call it from your own code through an API, SDK, command line, or headless or server process;
|
||||
- separate, repackage or sublicense it, or use it in other software;
|
||||
- offer a product or service whose main purpose is what the bundled component does, such as a compression-only app or website;
|
||||
- modify the bundled component itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Any other use requires a separate [Hyper Compress license](https://www.bentopdf.com/hyper-compress#pricing), from $99/year. [Kura](https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf-kura) is not a bundled component and is always licensed separately, with [commercial licenses](https://www.bentopdf.com/kura#pricing) from $99/year.

## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
### Do I need a license key to use BentoPDF?
|
||||
@@ -83,6 +97,10 @@ No. BentoPDF does not use license keys. The commercial license grants you legal
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, with a commercial license. Without it, you must comply with AGPL-3.0, which requires you to make your full source code available to users.
|
||||
|
||||
### Does the commercial license cover Hyper Compress or Kura?
|
||||
|
||||
Hyper Compress, yes, when you use it through BentoPDF. It is included as a [bundled component](#bundled-components). Using the engine on its own, or inside other software, needs a separate [Hyper Compress license](https://www.bentopdf.com/hyper-compress#pricing), from $99/year. Kura is not included and is licensed separately, from [$99/year](https://www.bentopdf.com/kura#pricing).
|
||||
|
||||
### What about the AGPL components?
|
||||
|
||||
Components like CoherentPDF are licensed under AGPL v3 and remain under that license. The commercial license covers BentoPDF's own code but does not override third-party AGPL obligations.
