Frequently asked questions

Is the licence priced per user?

No. The Founding Customer offer shown here is presented as a commercial site licence and does not use per-user pricing.

Can I test DSE before purchasing?

Yes. Each edition has a 14-day temporary-key option. The key is issued for the selected edition/runtime and is tied to the machine code supplied during activation.

What is the difference between Windows and Container?

The Windows edition runs the DSE desktop experience directly. The Container edition adds the protected DSE container engine and requires Docker Desktop or a compatible Docker runtime.

What does the Private AI edition add?

The AI editions include DSE's Private AI Advisor capability in addition to the corresponding Standard Windows or Container runtime.
