Products ยท Commercial licence
The Iriscan Biometric SDK and the biometric data converter are free under GPL-3.0. If you build them into an app or a device that you distribute without publishing your own source code, a commercial licence gives you the right to do that.
| What you do with the SDK | Licence |
|---|---|
| Research, evaluation, tests, internal tools | GPL-3.0, free |
| Run it on your own servers, for example behind an API, without handing the software to anyone | GPL-3.0, free |
| Build it into an open-source product released under GPL-3.0 | GPL-3.0, free |
| Ship it inside a closed-source Android or iOS app, desktop software or device firmware | Commercial licence |
| Deliver it to a client as part of a system whose source code they will not receive | Commercial licence |
The code is the same in both cases. A commercial licence changes the terms you get it under, not the software, so you can still read and audit every line on GitHub.
Our de-duplication server is licensed separately for installation on your own servers; see On your servers on the pricing page.
Licences are annual and priced per product, by platform and scale of deployment. Tell us what you are building and how many devices or users it will reach, and we will send you an offer.
