License types & upgrade policy

How DBConvert and DBSync licenses are structured, what each tier includes, and how updates work after the first year.

Personal

Single developer using the software on their own workstations.

  • 1 user
  • 2 parallel threads
  • Premium support optional

Business

Small team inside a single company sharing the software for ongoing work.

  • Up to 5 users (one company)
  • 8 parallel threads
  • Premium support optional

Enterprise

Unlimited users inside one company - premium support is part of the price.

  • Unlimited users (one company)
  • 16 parallel threads
  • Premium support included

Pricing is shown in the store and varies per product (DBConvert, DBSync, DBConvert Studio).

One year of free updates

Every purchase includes one year of free upgrades. After that, your license keeps working - only new versions require a fresh purchase.

First 12 months

All minor and major releases published within one year of your purchase date are free. Download new builds as soon as they ship.

After 12 months

Your existing version continues to work without limits. You only need to upgrade if you want builds released after your update window ended.

Renewal is optional. If you're happy with your version you can keep using it for as long as you need; when you do want newer builds, you can renew for an additional annual term at a discounted price.

What premium technical support covers

Included with Enterprise, available as an add-on for Personal and Business licenses.

  • Unlimited ticket-based priority support
  • Guaranteed response within 1 business day
  • Escalation to the relevant product development team
  • Hotfixes or emergency patches in case of bugs
  • Remote troubleshooting when needed

How the parallel migration engine uses your tier

A thread is one independent worker copying data. More threads = more tables processed at the same time, which matters most for large databases on multi-core hardware.

The effective thread count is capped by both the license tier (2 / 8 / 16) and the number of processor threads on the machine. Business and Enterprise tiers unlock more parallelism for teams running heavier migrations.

Sources that support parallel reads

  • SQL Server
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Oracle
  • Firebird
  • Interbase
  • SQLite

All target databases support parallel writes except MS Access, MS FoxPro and IBM DB2.

How users are counted

The number of users equals the number of individual people granted the right to run the software - not the number of installations or machines.

Business and Enterprise licenses apply within one legal entity (company). If two separate companies need access, each needs its own license.
