Do You Have Your Akka BSL License?

A license ensures the version of Akka (beginning with version 2.7, released in September 2022) you are running in production has all of the latest known bug fixes, vulnerabilities patched, and maintains compliance with SOC 2 and NIST 800-53.

Licensing allows for production access to all Akka’s new features like Brokerless pub/sub and the upcoming release of Akka Edge.

More information can be found in the BSL License FAQ or contact Lightbend for a License or questions.

 

LICENSING GUIDELINES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

  • Development and Testing - No charge, non-production usage does not require a license
  • Revenue under $25M - FREE Startup License for production use of Akka
  • Revenue more than $25M - choice of Production licenses
  • Independent Software Vendors and organizations bundling Akka with their product offerings - special partner license pricing is available. Note that organizations bundling Akka in products sold to U.S. Federal Departments and Agencies will require an Akka license in order to comply with the NIST SDDF.
