Introduction

StartSharp is the premium version of our free Serene application template.

It includes everything that Serene has, in addition to extra samples, features, integrations and modules.

Premium Packages

Our premium packages that include the StartSharp template are available for purchase at https://serenity.is.

Currently, four levels are offered: Freelancer, Business and Enterprise.

They also contain varying levels of premium support.

Let's first explain what you get with these premium packages.

Commercial Licence

Serene Template and Serenity itself have a permissive MIT licence which allows usage in open-source, commercial and proprietary applications.

StartSharp, which is also based on Serenity, comes with a commercial licence, that allows you to use it with any number of commercial applications/sites.

You are not allowed to use StartSharp content in an open source application as it would mean open sourcing StartSharp itself.

StartSharp is licenced per seat/developer.

Freelancer level allow just one developer to use StartSharp. These levels are only suitable for single/freelance developers.

The Business level comes with 3 seats/developers licences, while Enterprise includes 5 seats/developers licences.

Even though it is possible to buy multiple Freelancer licences, we recommend Business or Enterprise as they are more cost effective.

We also offer volume licencing discounts. Contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Private Support Desk

You get prioritized e-mail support from our core developers, with a guaranteed initial response time of 72 / 48 / 24 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) based on your support level.

This guaranteed response time is for a certain number of issues (as a fair use policy) based on support level:

  • Freelancer: 72 hours for first 10 Incidents
  • Business: 48 hours for first 15 Incidents
  • Enterprise: 24 hours for first 20 Incidents

This doesn't mean you won't receive an answer to your further incidents, response is just not guaranteed within specified time.

Initial response time specified excludes weekends and public holidays.

Live Credits

These are hours that you can use to get direct remote support from our developers.

We recommend using these credits for troubleshooting; so that you can save your precious hours/days by letting us handle the problem in a few minutes.

You may also use these hours for custom development, additional features etc.

It's also possible to buy additional hours, and our premium members get a discount over the average fee.

Freelancer don't contain any live credits.

The Business level comes with 3 hours of live credits, while Enterprise has 5 hours.

Access to Full Source Code

All levels provide access to the StartSharp GitHub repository with full source code.

Expiration and Renewals

The packages you buy provide access to the StartSharp repository, updates and premium support for 12 months.

Once that period ends, we won't auto-renew your subscription and you'll receive an e-mail from us with a discounted renewal offer (usually around 25%).

If you choose to not renew, you'll only lose access to StartSharp source code, updates and premium support.

You'll be keeping your StartSharp licence and continue using versions of StartSharp released during your subscription period.

Your existing projects will continue to work, and you can still create new projects using your downloaded version of StartSharp.
