Regira-Packages

Licensing

Regira packages use a split licensing model designed to stay out of your way: most packages are Apache-2.0, and the handful that fund the project carry a commercial license with a built-in free tier.

At a glance

Packages	License	Key needed?
Everything except the seven below	Apache License 2.0	Never — these packages contain no license validation and no runtime limits
Regira.Licensing, Regira.Entities.EFcore, Regira.Entities.DependencyInjection, Regira.Entities.Web, Regira.Entities.Mapping.Mapster, Regira.Entities.Mapping.AutoMapper, Regira.Office.Clients	Regira Commercial License	Only beyond the free tier

The front-end library @regira/modules (npm) is also Apache-2.0. The hosted services (services.regira.com) and the MCP server follow the commercial model with rate-limited free tiers.

The free tier

The free tier applies automatically — no payment, no registration, no key:

Product	Free-tier limit
regira.entities	5 simple + 2 complex entity registrations per application
regira.services	5 requests per 60 seconds
regira.mcp	30 requests per 60 seconds

A registration is simple when it is made without custom sort or include type parameters (For<Product>(), For<Product, int, ProductSearchObject>(...)), and complex when it specifies them (For<Order, int, OrderSearchObject, OrderSortBy, OrderIncludes>(...)).

For any given released version, the free tier as shipped in that version remains available without time limit.

Commercial licenses

A license key removes the free-tier limits. Keys are validated fully offline with an RSA-signed token — no phone-home, no telemetry (the validation code is public: Regira.Licensing).

• Trial — 30 days, all features, no payment required.
• Commercial — annual, per developer: currently €99/yr (Regira Entities) and €49/yr (Regira Services), MCP server included. Canonical prices and purchase: regira.com/licensing. Keys are emailed immediately.

One key can cover multiple products; when several keys are registered, the best license per product wins (paid always beats free).

Registering a key

Register once, before module setup:

services.UseRegira(configuration);   // reads Regira:LicenseKeys from configuration
// or
services.UseRegira(licenseKey);      // pass keys explicitly

{
  "Regira": {
    "LicenseKeys": [ "<your-license-key>" ]
  }
}

FAQ

• Is the free tier free forever? Yes — per released version, the shipped free tier is not revocable. Future versions may adjust limits.
• What happens when a key expires? Validation falls back to the free tier; nothing fails closed.
• Can I ship Regira DLLs inside my commercial product? Yes — the commercial license grants redistribution in compiled form as part of your application (clause 3). The Apache-2.0 packages carry the standard Apache grant.
• Will license scanners flag Regira? The Apache-2.0 packages carry a standard SPDX expression that every scanner recognizes. Only the seven commercial packages show a custom license file.
