Self-Managed License
The self-managed edition of SFTPGo Enterprise is the ideal choice for organizations
that need full control over their deployment — whether on-premises, in a private cloud, or across hybrid environments.
Based on the robust open-source core,
the enterprise edition is optimized for business-critical workloads and offers enhanced features, improved performance,
and commercial licensing.
These advanced capabilities are available with a valid license key.
You can deploy SFTPGo on Linux, Windows, in Docker containers, or within Kubernetes clusters.
Full instructions are available in our installation guide.

We offer two flexible licensing options for SFTPGo Enterprise:
-
Lifetime License: A perpetual license that grants you the right to use all SFTPGo Enterprise
versions released within 12 months from your purchase date, indefinitely. For example, if you purchase a license on
August 29, 2025, you can install and continue using any version released up to August 28, 2026, for as long as needed.
To continue receiving updates, new version access and technical support beyond the first year, an annual maintenance service is required. The maintenance fee is approximately 25% of the original license cost and ensures uninterrupted access to the latest features, security patches and product improvements.
If maintenance is not renewed, your existing installation will continue to function, but you will no longer be eligible for updates or support. - Subscription License: Get continuous access to all new releases, updates and technical support for as long as your subscription is active. Every subscription includes a free trial period, giving you the opportunity to evaluate SFTPGo Enterprise before making a commitment.
Both licensing models include access to enterprise-only features. Commercial support is provided for 12 months with the Lifetime License and for as long as the subscription remains active with the Subscription License, giving you the flexibility to choose the best option for your organization's needs.
