Licensing

Last modified: June 12, 2025

Devart offers licenses for the Professional and Standard editions of dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL. You can evaluate the Professional edition during the free trial.

Free trial

When you install dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL without a purchased license, you get a 30-day free trial of the Professional edition to evaluate the product. The trial provides full access to all features available in the Professional edition.

The trial period starts on the day you activate the product.

After the trial ends, dbForge Studio automatically switches to the free Express edition, which offers a limited feature set. You can continue using the Express edition or purchase a license.

If you need more time to evaluate all the features of the product, please contact us at sales@devart.com.

Note

To view the trial expiration date, select Help > About.

Your product licenses

You can manage your product licenses in the Customer Portal on the Devart website. Log in with the email address and password you provided when you purchased the product or downloaded the trial version.

In the Customer Portal, you can view the details on every product you purchased or tried, including:

• The number of licenses.
• Activations for each product.
• A hardware ID. The hardware ID is a unique identifier of a machine on which a product license is activated. This ID is generated based on the BIOS, CPU, and HDD parameters and appears as a set of letters and numbers.

You can also deactivate a license or extend a subscription using the Customer Portal.

Note

If you deactivate a product, it can’t be used until reactivated.

Bundle

If you have purchased a bundle of products, your activation key activates all the products in the bundle.

If you deactivate the bundle, all included products are deactivated.

To extend a subscription for a bundle, you need to purchase an extension for the entire bundle, not individual products.
