Question About Educational Licensing for Laragon

[malfin]

Hello Laragon Support,

I work as a teacher at a secondary vocational education institution (college), and I use Laragon for educational purposes, mainly for teaching students web development and programming.

I would like to clarify which license type is appropriate in my case.

Laragon may be installed not only on my personal/work computer, but also on multiple computers in a classroom so that students can use it during lessons and practical exercises.

Could you please clarify:

Can the Non-Commercial License be used in a public educational institution?
Is there a special Education or Academic license for colleges and schools?
If Laragon is installed on multiple classroom computers, does each computer require a separate license?
Can students use Laragon for free during educational classes under the Non-Commercial terms?
If a separate educational license is required, what would be the licensing terms and pricing?

The software would be used only for educational purposes and not for commercial software development or paid client projects.

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Best regards,
Alexey Pukhov

Hello Alexey Pukhov,

The pricing page explicitly mentions "educational" for Non-Commercial license - Standard:

License Type: Perpetual (Lifetime) Non-Commercial License – Allows indefinite use for personal, educational, or non-commercial purposes only.

Also, this page provides details about the number of devices:

Devices/Seats: Choose between a 1-device or 2-device

Laragon's "Non-Commercial - Unlicenced" will have a License popup as mentioned and this might disturb your students.

So I'd suggest to buy a "Non-Commercial license - Standard" license per computer – they are already about 80% discounted compared to "Laragon 1-year (Annual license)".

Many schools in Italy use XAMPP. In my opinion, offering a Laragon license specifically for educational institutions or a license that removes that annoying pop-up, would be a strategic move.

@nicovoni I can't speak for @leokhoa but I'm pretty sure they could contact him directly if needed.

Thank you for the clarification.

We are a state-funded educational institution, so unfortunately we cannot simply allocate money for software licenses whenever needed. Any purchase has to go through budgeting, approval, and procurement procedures, and funds for such software are not always available.

That is why an educational license or a special option for schools and colleges would be very helpful for us. We would like to use Laragon in our classes, but purchasing a separate license for every computer may be difficult for a budget-funded institution.

I fully agree with what you wrote, and we share the same purchasing difficulties.

You can just use Laragon 6. It won't pop up. It is free and suitable for all uses including education.

There is not much functional difference from Laragon 6 to Laragon 8.
