JxBrowser is a commercial library that requires a valid license in order to work. This guide focuses on technical aspects of working with the licenses.
For pricing information and details on terms and conditions please see the Licensing and Pricing section at the product page of our main website.
Adding the License to a Project
JxBrowser needs a license, which represents the licence.jar file. You need to include this file into your Java application classpath.
Evaluation License
JxBrowser 6 reached its end of life in December 2019. There is no way to request an evaluation license for this version anymore. Please use your commercial license instead.
Commercial Licenses
When you purchase a commercial license, we will email you with a license.
You can use this license both for development of your application with JxBrowser, and for distribution of our library as part of your application.
Per Developer License
This kind of license can be issued to a company or an individual.
The license is not tied to a person name. So, if a developer stopped working on the project and another one picked up that work, you do not need another license.
The only requirement is that the number of licenses should equal to the number of developers involved in the project, which uses JxBrowser.
Example:
If you have 5 developers involved into your project and only 2 of them work with JxBrowser, you need 2 licenses only.
When you purchase a commercial license for 2 developers you will get one license that can be used by 2 developers in your company.
If you have a team of 3 and more people using JxBrowser and you plan to do one project only, you may want to purchase a Project License.
Project License
The license is issued to a company.
The license is tied to a fully qualified java class name of your project. For example, com.mycompany.myproduct.MyClass. It can be any class of your application. The only requirement is that this class must be included in your app class path.
This option is cost-effective for three or more developers working on a product.
Company-Wide License
Grants you an unlimited number of developers for any number of projects in your company. This option is cost effective with more than 10 developers planned for a project, or for more than 3 projects.
Chromium Open-Source Components’ Licenses
JxBrowser is based on the open-source Chromium project that includes the source code and libraries written by developers in the Chromium community. The project also includes a number of open-source third-party libraries.
One of the key questions arising when an open-source code is used in commercial products, is the permitted use of the open-source code, and possible restrictions of use and distribution of the works based on this open-source code.
We are performing a regular review of the licenses, associated with the Chromium components used by JxBrowser, to make sure that there are no terms that would restrict the commercial distribution of JxBrowser or the customer applications using it. We also make sure that licenses requiring disclosure of the source code (like GPL) do not apply to JxBrowser or applications based on it.
Please see below the links to Chromium components’ licenses associated with JxBrowser releases:
- Chromium 69 Licenses (6.23 - 7.5)
- Chromium 64 Licenses (6.20 - 6.22.2)
- Chromium 60 Licenses (6.15 — 6.19.1)
- Chromium 55 Licenses (6.12 — 6.14.2)
- Chromium 51 Licenses (6.5 — 6.11)
- Chromium 49 Licenses (6.4 — 6.5)
- Chromium 43 Licenses (5.3 — 6.3)
