## When Do You Need a Commercial License?
|
||
|
||
| Use Case | License Required |
|
||
| ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
|
||
| Open-source project with public source code | AGPL-3.0 (Free) |
|
||
| Internal company tool (not distributed) | AGPL-3.0 (Free) |
|
||
| Proprietary/closed-source application | **Commercial License** |
|
||
| SaaS product without source code disclosure | **Commercial License** |
|
||
| Redistributing without AGPL compliance | **Commercial License** |
|
||
|
||
## Delivery & Licensing Model
|
||
|
||
- **No license key is required or provided.** BentoPDF intentionally does not use license keys to streamline deployment and reduce operational friction for users.
|
||
- Upon purchase, users receive a ZIP archive containing the complete BentoPDF source code and binaries.
|
||
- The source code provided is identical to the code published in our public open-source repository.
|
||
|
||
**GitHub Repository:** [github.com/alam00000/bentopdf](https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf)

||
## Important Notice on Third-Party Components
|
||
|
||
::: info AGPL Components — Pre-configured via CDN
|
||
BentoPDF **does not bundle** AGPL-licensed processing libraries in its source code. These components are loaded at runtime from CDN URLs that are **pre-configured by default** — all features work out of the box with zero setup.
|
||
|
||
| Component | License | Status |
|
||
| --------------- | -------- | ---------------------- |
|
||
| **PyMuPDF** | AGPL-3.0 | Pre-configured via CDN |
|
||
| **Ghostscript** | AGPL-3.0 | Pre-configured via CDN |
|
||
| **CoherentPDF** | AGPL-3.0 | Pre-configured via CDN |
|
||
|
||
WASM module URLs are configured via environment variables at build time (`.env.production`). The defaults point to jsDelivr CDN. For custom deployments (air-gapped, self-hosted), you can override via environment variables, Docker build args, or per-user via **Advanced Settings** in the UI.
|
||
|
||
See [Self-Hosting > WASM Configuration](/tr/self-hosting/#wasm-yapılandırması-agpl-bilesenleri) for details.
|
||
|
||
This approach ensures:
|
||
|
||
- BentoPDF's core code remains under its dual-license (AGPL-3.0 / Commercial)
|
||
- WASM binaries are loaded at runtime, not included in the source
|
||
- Clear compliance boundaries for commercial users
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
::: tip Commercial License & AGPL Features
|
||
The commercial license covers BentoPDF's own code. If you configure and use AGPL components (PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, CoherentPDF), you must still comply with their respective AGPL-3.0 license terms, which may require source code disclosure if you distribute modified versions.

## FAQ
|
||
|
||
### Do I need a license key to use BentoPDF?
|
||
|
||
No. BentoPDF does not use license keys. The commercial license grants you legal rights to use the software in proprietary applications.
|
||
|
||
### Can I use BentoPDF in my SaaS product?
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
### 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.
|
||
|
||
### How do I get an invoice?
|
||
|
||
Polar emails your invoice automatically after purchase. For a VAT invoice, select "I'm purchasing as a business" at checkout. If you need anything else, email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with your purchase details.
