Licensing & Access Rules
Section titled “Licensing & Access Rules”Each workspace can only be assigned a single pricing plan. You cannot mix and match (e.g., Base and Ultimate) within the same workspace.
Licenses must be assigned to individual users. This generates an authentication token that enables access to the emulator and any enhancements included in the plan.
Not sure which plan fits your use case? Explore our pricing page.
For unique licensing needs across teams or environments, please contact Sales.
Usage Allocation Per Workspace
Section titled “Usage Allocation Per Workspace”All paid plans include a fixed allocation of:
- Cloud Sandbox (Ephemeral Instance) minutes (monthly pool)
- State Management (Cloud Pod) storage (per contract, shared across all users)
