FAQ

What is Ext JS Community Edition?

The Ext JS Community Edition is a great way to get started building data-intensive, cross-platform web applications. The Ext JS Community Edition includes a modern Ext JS framework with hundreds of modern components, beautiful material theme, npm based open tooling, and a limited commercial use license.

Getting started on realizing your product vision or getting your startup off the ground can be difficult without seed capital or sales revenue. Outfitting developers with professional level tools can be cost prohibitive before you have product to sell. Community Edition is both designed to allow individuals and startups to bootstrap their vision until annual revenues reach $10,000 at which point an Ext JS commercial edition license can be purchased.

If you’re an individual you may use Community Edition to create apps for your own use and apps that you can sell until your revenues reach $10,000 per year.

If you’re a small company or organization without revenue (or up to $10,000 per year in revenue), you can also use the Community Edition. Once your company’s total revenue reaches $10,000 USD per year, or your team expands to more than 5 developers, you can move up to an unrestricted Ext JS commercial license.

How do I get a Community Edition license?

You’ll be able to easily transfer all of your code projects you created in the Community Edition with Ext JS in your new paid edition.

Is a Community Edition trial available?

A trial for Community Edition is not needed, since a free 1 year term license is provided. That said, we also offer a free 30-day trial of Ext JS Premium, allowing users to try out all the highest level features. You can see the differences in features by edition on our feature matrix.
