Release Notice
Embr Module Licensing
To offer a more complete support model, Musson Industrial is introducing optional licensing for the Embr suite. Don't worry, these modules will always remain free to use and open source.
Here's what's changing:
Standard Edition
- Embr modules are free to use, but will run in trial mode when unlicensed.
- No functionality will be impacted by an expired trial.
- You can remove the trial status by purchasing a low-cost license from our web store.
Maker Edition
- Embr modules are free to use with no trial mode.
Licensing Options
Licenses are offered on an individual (per-module) or suite (all modules) basis.
- Individual Module License: $50
- Suite License: $100
All major credit cards are accepted, as well as ACH payments for US-based orders over $250.
After completing an order on our web store, license keys (including activation tokens for leased licenses) will be generated and sent to the email used at checkout. License key generation and distribution are automated and occur every 15 minutes.
Expected Questions
Q: Is Embr still open source?
A: Yes! The entire Embr suite is still MIT-licensed, and this will never change.
Q: Can I continue to use Embr Charts/Periscope/Thermo/SNMP for free?
A: Yes! The modules will report as being in trial mode, but no functionality will be impacted. You will still continue to receive updates.
Q: Why should I purchase a license?
A: A license removes the trial banner and supports continued development of the Embr suite, helping ensure these modules remain useful, reliable, and actively maintained.
Q: What if I upgrade from 8.1 to 8.3?
A: License keys are not tied to a specific Ignition version and will never expire.
Q: Will you offer redundant gateway, integrator, or bulk purchase discounts?
A: We aim to keep licensing simple, affordable, and automated, so there are currently no additional discounts.
Q: I have questions regarding licenses, special setups, edge cases, or long-term support guarantees.
A: We're here for you! For setups that fall outside the standard automated licensing process, please reach out so we can provide guidance.
