While prices for all editions remain the same, the annual renewal of your product key calculated at 50% of the edition price will be mandatory.


What will change?

  • Bitrix24 On-premise license will switch to a mandatory yearly subscription instead of the one time fee with optional paid access to updates.

  • Below is the summary for the major changes to the End User License Agreement (EULA), starting from September 1, 2022:

    1. We generally updated the text of the terms, added structure to the sections, and changed the order of the sections where necessary.

Frequently asked questions

I have an active Bitrix24 On-premise license key. How will it affect me?

After September 1, 2022 all new Bitrix24 On-premise licenses will be provided as a subscription license that is required to be renewed annually for 50% from the On-Premise edition price.

The license keys purchased before September 1, 2022 will continue to work on previous terms. However, to receive updates, support, and access to Bitrix24 cloud services you will not be able to buy the renewal of your maintenance subscription, instead you will be required to switch to a subscription license. This will be the same 50% from your license Edition price and will give you the same access to updates, support, and Bitrix24 services.

Will I have to pay more for renewing my license every year?

No, the price of your license renewal will remain the same: 50% from the Edition price.

I have purchased the Bitrix24 license key but have not activated it yet. Can I do it after September 1, 2022?

You will need to activate this key before September 1, 2022. If you fail to do that please contact our Sales team at sales@bitrix24.com.

What will happen if I do not purchase a renewal for my new On-Premise license that works on subscription model?

You will have a 14 days grace period after subscription license end date to purchase and activate the renewal. If the subscription renewal is not paid by then, your On-Premise product copy will be locked.

Will the On-premise upgrade prices change?

Yes, after September 1, 2022, the On-premise edition upgrade pricing policy will change. For license switched to subscription model, in order to upgrade to a higher edition, you will need to pay the full price of the new edition. The unused days of the current subscription license will be recalculated and added to the 1 year of the new edition subscription.
