Datara Studio Licence Summary and Formal EULA
Part 1 — Website-Ready Licence Summary
Datara Studio Licence Summary
Last updated: 5th May 2026
This page is a plain-English summary of how Datara Studio licensing works. It is designed to help you understand what you are buying, how activations work, what is included, and what happens with updates, refunds, and support.
This summary is not a substitute for the full End User Licence Agreement. If there is any conflict between this summary and the formal EULA, the formal EULA will apply.
The basics
Datara Studio is licensed, not sold.
When you buy Datara, you are buying the right to use the software under the applicable licence terms. You do not acquire ownership of the software, source code, or Datara intellectual property.
Datara editions
Free / Lite
Free/Lite is available from day one and is intended for evaluation, learning, and lighter workflows.
Free/Lite includes many of Datara’s core features, but:
- it allows one database connection only
- it does not include migration
- it does not include synchronisation
Full
Full includes:
- all Datara features
- migration
- synchronisation
- unlimited database connections
Full is sold as a one-time licence for the purchased major version, subject to the update and upgrade rules below.
Early Adopter discount
Datara may offer an Early Adopter discount to qualifying early purchasers of the Full version.
Unless we state otherwise, the Early Adopter program is a pricing offer only. It does not create a separate edition of the product or additional legal rights beyond the Full licence purchased.
How licensing works
Datara is licensed by seat and activated using a licence key.
Standard Full licence
A standard Full licence includes:
- 1 seat
- activation on 1 device at a time
- up to 5 activations total to allow reinstallations, device replacement, or moving to another device
Important example
If you want Datara active on both your laptop and desktop at the same time, you need 2 seats.
Multi-seat licences
Datara also supports multi-seat licensing for companies and teams.
If a company buys multiple seats:
- the licence key may be used on up to the number of seats purchased
- the key may be active on up to that number of devices at the same time
- the company can manage activations, including removing old devices or access for former staff, where Datara provides activation-management tools
Example: If a company buys 100 seats, that licence may be active on up to 100 devices at the same time.
Updates and upgrades
Datara licences are sold on a one-time purchase basis for the purchased major version.
Included with your purchase
Your licence includes:
- minor updates
- patches
- maintenance releases
for the major version you purchased, until that version reaches end of support.
Major version upgrades
New major versions are not automatically included.
If Datara releases a new major version with new features, benefits, or major changes, you may need to buy a new licence for that new major version.
Example
If you buy Datara Version 1.x:
- Version 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and patches are included
- if Datara later releases Version 2.0, Version 2.0 may require a new licence
Refunds
Datara offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid purchases.
That means if you buy a paid Datara licence and change your mind within 30 days from the original purchase date, you may request a refund.
No questions asked.
This refund policy does not limit any rights you may have under laws that cannot legally be excluded in your location.
What you can do
Subject to your licence type, you may:
- install and use Datara for your own internal personal or business use
- activate Datara on the number of devices allowed by your purchased seats
- receive included updates for your purchased major version until end of support
- use supported third-party providers and integrations where applicable
What you cannot do
You must not:
- share a personal licence key with other users
- publish your licence key publicly
- use a key on more active devices than your licence allows
- resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or redistribute Datara without permission
- reverse engineer or bypass Datara’s licensing controls except where law clearly allows that right and it cannot be excluded
- use Datara in a way that is unlawful, harmful, or malicious
AI and third-party tools
Some Datara features may rely on third-party services, local models, database drivers, or integrations.
These may include AI providers, local runtimes, SSH or SSL components, export libraries, or migration-related tools.
Your use of those third-party tools may be subject to their own terms, licences, privacy policies, and fees.
Global sales and local rights
Datara is sold globally.
Nothing in Datara’s licence terms is intended to remove rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law in your country, state, or region.

3. Licence Grant
3.1 Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement and payment of all applicable fees, Datara grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable Licence to install, activate, and use the Software for Customer’s internal personal or business purposes in accordance with the applicable edition, Seat count, and activation limits.
