Licensing Policy

Last modified: 20 April 2023

Each Editions of TeamCity has its own licensing policy. TeamCity Professional does not require any license keys when using the predefined number of free agents. The Enterprise edition requires one of the following types of licenses:

  • Commercial — no expiration date

  • Evaluation — has an expiration date and provides an unlimited amount of agents; the evaluation license can be obtained only once, a second evaluation key is not accepted after the previous one expires.

  • Open Source — this is a special type of license granted for open source projects, it is time-based, and provides an unlimited amount of agents.

If you need additional agents for either edition, you can purchase an additional agent license, which defines a number of additional agents you can use with TeamCity. The agent license does not expire.

Managing licenses is only available to users with the System or Project Administrator permissions: Administration > Licenses

The TeamCity Licensing Policy does not impose any limitations on the number of instances for any of the IDE plugins or the Windows Tray Notifier.
