Licensing

Yontrack is open core: most of it needs no license, and a few features are under license. Each of them is a licensed feature of the license, identified by an ID, which the license enables or not. A development instance enables all of them.

The page License of the user menu shows the license of the instance and, for each licensed feature, whether it is enabled. Through the API, the same is in licenseInfo in GraphQL:

{
  licenseInfo {
    license {
      licensedFeatures {
        id
        name
        enabled
      }
    }
  }
}

Licensed features

ID	Name	What it gates
extension.environments	Environments & deployment pipelines	The environments, their slots and deployments.
extension.findings.native-formats	Native scanner formats	Reading the native scanner formats — SARIF, Trivy JSON — of the findings. The findings themselves and their neutral format are not licensed.
extension.scorecard	Delivery scorecard	The estates and the readings of the projects in them. The scorecard of a project on its own is not licensed.
extension.audit-trail	Audit trail	Writing the audit trail of the builds, and their evidence. A trail already written stays readable.
extension.agents	Agent governance	The rulings on agents and their activity. Recording them is not licensed.

Agent governance

The free product records agents in full and holds them to the same gates as everyone else: registered agents and their tokens, the agent and its session on the record, the agent policy and the Agents admitted setting of the promotion levels and slots, the assisted change of the builds and the build_assisted event, and the readiness of a build. None of this needs a license.

Agent governance (extension.agents) gates ruling on agents, and following what they do:

• Assisted builds require — the promotion condition "if the build is assisted, these validation stamps must pass first".
• Evidence from non-agents only — the validation stamp restriction "evidence on this stamp must come from a non-agent actor".
• Agent activity — what an agent did over the last days, for its owner and the administrators.
• Agent activity across the projects — the Agent activity dashboard widget and the Latest agent actions page, for any user, on the projects they can see.

Without the license, these rulings are kept, visible and editable, but do nothing: an assisted build is promoted as any other, an agent records evidence on any stamp. They apply again as soon as the license allows them.

The activity of the agents is not shown without the license: the Activity tab of an agent, the Agent activity widget and the Latest agent actions page say that the license is needed, the Latest agent actions entry is not in the menu, and the API refuses the reads. What the agents do is still recorded, and comes back in the activity with the license.
