Domain licensing restrictions

SciChart.js has an additional requirement for hostname / domain name deployment which is described below. 

Individual Licenses

• For each SciChart.js license (SciChart JS 2D Pro, SciChart JS SDK Pro) that you purchase at store.scichart.com, you will be entitled to deploy to one production hostname and two test hostnames. 
  
  
• What this means is, for each SciChart JS license that you purchase, you can deploy SciChart.js to one production hostname e.g. www.yourcompany.com as well as two test hostnames, for example test.yourcompany.com and staging.yourcompany.com.
  
  

Bundle 2D Pro / Bundle SDK Pro Licenses

• The Bundle 2D Pro, Bundle SDK Pro packages include a license for all our platforms (Windows, iOS/Android, macOS and JavaScript).

Bundle SDK Enterprise Licenses

• For each Bundle SDK Enterprise License purchased, you will be entitled to three production hostnames and six test hostnames. 

Site Licenses

• For SciChart.js Site licenses (including Bundle 2D Pro / Bundle SDK Site licenses) that you purchase, we can offer scalable tiers for multiple production wildcard domains and multiple test hostnames.

Notes & FAQs

Q: What counts as a HostName?

A hostname is a single domain plus prefix, for example www.yourcompany.com and app.yourcompany.com counts as two hostnames despite being the same domain.

Q: What is a Production Hostname?

Production hostnames are fully licensed SciChart.js applications without a watermark. These are perpetually licensed (never expire) and your app will run in perpetuity without any additional fees. For example, https://demo.scichart.com uses a production hostname as there is no watermark on the chart. 

Q: What is a Test Hostname

Test hostnames allow you to create watermarked applications (shows a small 'SciChart' watermark on the chart) and are intended for testing, staging and QA purposes. Test hostnames have an expiry and require you to renew your support subscription to keep using them. 

Q: Purchasing Additional Hostnames/Domains

If you want to license additional hosts, for example, if you are an agency creating applications, contact our sales team and we will be glad to help.

Q: How to assign/allocate HostNames

You can choose the production & test hostnames that you wish to license at your profile page: www.scichart.com/profile
