Redistribution: Commercial and OEM licenses define whether and how the software may be redistributed or embedded in third-party products.

Localhost development is permitted for testing with a commercial license.

Step 1: Download the Trial

Go to krpano.com > Download. Use the unlicensed version to build your tour locally. It will watermark your output.

2. The Commercial License (~€150–250 one-time)

Best for: Freelancers, agencies, real estate photographers, and businesses creating tours for profit.
What it gives you: Full rights to build and sell unlimited virtual tours. No watermark, no domain limits, and you can use all krpano tools (droplet, command line, etc.).
Key benefit: One license per domain – you can host tours for hundreds of clients on a single domain (e.g., yourcompany.com/tours/). You don’t need a license per client project.

Step 5: Verification

Visit your tour. Right-click the viewer. If there is no "krpano" watermark, you are compliant.

Part 3: Domain vs. Multi-Domain – The Crucial Distinction

The single biggest point of confusion for new users is the domain restriction.

Basic License: You register one specific domain (e.g., www.myclient.com). The license will not work on staging.myclient.com or test.myclient.com unless you purchase a separate license or use wildcard registration.
PRO License: You can register multiple domains (technically, it is "domain unlimited" but limited to your own usage). However, you cannot give the PRO license to 500 different clients; that requires an OEM agreement.

Part 10: Final Verdict – Which krpano License Should You Buy?

The golden rule of krpano licensing: Respect the domain limit. If you build a beautiful 360° tour, charge your client enough to cover the €150 or €350 license cost. It is tax-deductible, and it supports ongoing development of the best panoramic toolkit on the market.
