NocoBase 2.0 was officially released on February 15, 2026. Starting with this version, NocoBase is pivoting toward being AI-driven, helping traditional enterprises implement AI capabilities and ensuring AI delivers real value in practical business scenarios. In line with this new direction, we have adjusted our open-source license and pricing structure to ensure the license is more flexible and friendly, the pricing plan is simpler, and the cost of use is lower for our users.
License Change: From AGPL-3.0 to Apache-2.0
This transition provides a more business-friendly environment, offering users greater flexibility for customization and commercial distribution with fewer constraints.

Full Credit Toward Upgrades from Lower to Higher Editions
Under the pricing policy prior to February 15, when upgrading from a lower edition to a higher edition, only the remaining prorated value could be credited. For example, if upgrading from the Standard Edition to the Professional Edition after 6 months, with a remaining value of 400 USD, the required price difference would be 7,600 USD.
Under the pricing policy after February 15, when upgrading from a lower edition to a higher edition, the full amount spent on the lower edition can be credited. For example, if upgrading from the Standard Edition to the Professional Edition after 18 months, the full 800 USD spent on the Standard Edition can be credited, and the required price difference would be 7,200 USD.

- Rights purchased before February 15 remain unaffected.
- All previously purchased or redeemed commercial plugins remain yours.
- Remaining points in plugin packs can still be used to redeem any commercial plugin.

FAQ
Q: I bought the Professional Edition before Feb 15, which included Multi-app and Multi-space. Now those features are only in the EnterpriseEdition. Will I lose them?
A: No. All features you already own, including Multi-app and Multi-space, are permanently included in your license.
Q: I bought the Standard Edition before Feb 15 and have 8 points left. I want to redeem the Approval plugin, but it's now restricted to the Professional Edition. Can I still get it?
A: Yes. Your remaining plugin points can still be used to redeem any commercial plugin regardless of the new tiering.
Q: I bought the Standard Edition before it included External Data Sources. Now that the Standard Edition includes them (post-Feb 15), do I get them for free?
A: Yes. Any new features added to your Edition after Feb 15 are free for existing owners of that Edition. This includes MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and Rest API external data sources.
Q: I purchased the Standard Edition and the Approval plugin before February 15, for a total of 800 USD + 800 USD = 1,600 USD. Can I credit this amount toward an upgrade to the Professional Edition?
A: Yes. The full 1,600 USD can be credited toward the upgrade.
The interpretation of these adjustments belongs to the parent company of NocoBase. For existing commercial users, all complimentary rights and adjustments will be finalized by February 24.
We want to thank all our paid and free users, as well as our open-source contributors. We will continue to iterate rapidly to provide a better product at a lower price.
