# License and evaluation

> The Parmana server is proprietary software, source-available for evaluation only. The client and connector SDKs are Apache 2.0.

<Warning>
  **Proprietary software, evaluation only.** The Parmana repository is
  source-available for evaluation purposes. No license is granted to use, copy,
  modify, or distribute this software, in whole or in part, without a separate
  written agreement with Parmana Systems. See
  [LICENSE](https://github.com/pavancharak/parmana/blob/main/LICENSE). The
  client SDKs and connector SDKs are the exception: they are licensed under the
  Apache License 2.0 (see the table below).
</Warning>

## What evaluation covers

Reading the source, building it, and running it to assess Parmana is permitted: the test
suite, the examples, a local server, and the public [Playground](/playground). Any other
use, including production deployment, redistribution, or derivative works, needs a
separate written agreement.

To evaluate from a fresh clone, follow [Evaluate Parmana](/evaluation/overview) (the same
steps as [EVALUATION.md](https://github.com/pavancharak/parmana/blob/main/EVALUATION.md)).
It needs Node.js 24.6 or later and no accounts, credentials or database. For a security
review, continue with the [Audit guide](/evaluation/audit-guide).
