Licensing
License Options
With InterBase powering enterprise, stand-alone, and deeply embedded IoT and mobile solutions, there are four full-featured editions to choose from to develop the right mix to enhance your software architecture.
Here, we offer guidance in determining which InterBase edition is best to help you build your solution. With InterBase, it doesn’t matter if you are unsure at first since it’s easy to move between editions. Often, the best choice is a combination of one or more editions.
Server Edition
InterBase Server Edition is a cost-effective, zero administration, lightweight, but powerful, embeddable database for your business-critical applications. As your organisation grows, InterBase Server scales with you. InterBase Server allows hundreds of simultaneous users to connect to a single database. You can start with 8 CPUs/cores and a single user but can add up to 32 cores and unlimited users. In addition to providing local RDBMS capabilities, the server edition allows remote connections for increased flexibility. The server provides AES data encryption and SSL communication for more security and access control. Perfect for Enterprises, ISVs, OEMs and VARs who need to embed a database into their applications.
Supported platforms: Windows and Linux
Desktop Edition
InterBase Desktop Edition provides you with a great embeddable solution for stand-alone single-user applications. Desktop Edition offers SQL RDBMS capabilities for local connection from multiple applications and scales to 4 CPUs/Cores while providing you with all the features, including a small operational footprint, AES data encryption for more security, high availability and performance, and zero administration. Perfect for small to mid-size ISVs, OEMs and VARs who need to embed a database into their applications.
Supported platforms: Windows
ToGo Edition (Light/Pro)
InterBase ToGo is an option for those looking to add data storage to their applications – locally or by connecting to a remote InterBase Server.
InterBase ToGo is an excellent choice for iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS applications that need to move data storage offline to:
- enable offline capabilities for enterprise solutions
- reduce network traffic
- lower data movement costs
With InterBase ToGo, you can also benefit from:
- Running stand-alone, encrypted data storage
- Removing the need to install client drivers
InterBase ToGo Lite and InterBase ToGo Pro both contain the same libraries for the InterBase deeply embeddable database engine. So when you’re ready, it’s incredibly easy to upgrade from ToGo Lite to ToGo Pro by simply replacing the license file!
Supported platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS and Android
InterBase Developer
InterBase Developer Edition is a free version of Embarcadero’s InterBase database that’s designed specifically for development and testing — not for production deployment.
