2 JAHIA DX COMMUNITY AND ENTERPRISE DISTRIBUTIONS

2.1 CONTENT AND MAIN DIFFERENCES The Community Distribution is the 100% free and open source distribution of Jahia Digital

Experience Manager, under GPLv3 license. The Enterprise Distribution is available through a

business-friendly license (JSEL) and is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding

mission-critical projects.

The Enterprise Distribution differentiates from the Community Distribution by the Digital

Industrialization tools it embarks:

● The Private AppStore software

● Roles and advanced workflows

● User directories and SSO (LDAP, AD etc.)

● Distant publishing

● Clustering

● Complex environments support (WebSphere, Oracle…)

● The possibility to install specific packages like Portal Factory providing features like the

Esigate or CMIS integration.

The Community Distribution share the exact same code base as the Enterprise Distribution (we

don’t want to provide crapware, early stage or unstable version to our community) but people

based and the Community Distribution cannot access to the monthly hotfixes and are not

supported by the Jahia teams.

The Enterprise Distribution is available through annual subscriptions that encompass the

additional Digital Industrialization tools, unlimited bug fixes, Online Technical Assistance and

specific SLAs for both development and production environments.

Prices for the subscriptions can be found on the Pricing page from the website.
