XAD Enterprise Licensing & Support
Enterprise Licensing for Commercial Use
XAD is distributed under the AGPL open-source license, which is well suited for research, prototyping, and open-source projects. The AGPL makes it easy to adopt and evaluate XAD while benefiting from its comprehensive automatic differentiation capabilities. However, AGPL obligations may not align with the licensing requirements of proprietary or commercial software deployed in enterprise environments. For organisations that need alternative terms, Xcelerit offers bespoke enterprise licenses for XAD.
Enterprise licensing permits:
Use of XAD in proprietary and closed-source applications
Integration within internal systems where AGPL obligations are not suitable
Commercial redistribution rights, where required
Legal clarity for audit, procurement, and compliance processes
Licensing terms are developed on an organisation-specific basis to reflect deployment scale, risk profile, and governance requirements.
