Developer Network Subscription Program

About the ReportLab Developer Network (DevNet)

The ReportLab Developer Network allows developers to work with ReportLab's entire enterprise package without purchasing full Enterprise licenses (See our pricing page).

By joining the DevNet network, you will be able to develop using the complete range of ReportLab products, as well as enjoy professional technical support. You will have fully functional versions of our products and access to upgrades, with the sole limitation that all PDF and chart output has a nagline - a line of text appearing at the base of the page to prevent production use. Purchasing a full license removes the nagline.

Conditions of membership

We presume you are developers with all-round web development skills, and enough Python experience to install packages. We will NOT provide support for basic Python help as part of this.

Benefits of membership

  • Access to our protected download area to download all ReportLab products
  • Covers up to 5 developers, provided they are working on the same project and team.
  • Use our entire commercial package on any number of CPUs for development and testing purposes only.
  • Technical support via email, covering both open source and commercial products.

Low Volume Production Licenses

Our normal pricing is for enterprise situations and generally assumes high-throughput document servers. However RML is ideally suited to smaller in-house or departmental tasks. To encourage web developers to get to grips with the product suite, we often grant a production license AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. This is contractually limited to 1000 pages per month. Small business can therefore use it for invoicing, literature production, product catalogues and many other monthly tasks.

If you wish to discuss a production license prior to purchase, email us with a brief description covering your company, team, and the purpose for which you wish to use it. We need to know the business context as well

Charity and Academic Licenses

Universities and charities are usually entitled to a full, unlimited-volume license for the price above. A DevNet membership is our normal approach to academic and charitable licensing, provided you have the developer resources to build and support the system. Again, email us first to confirm the intended use. We reserve the right to decline licenses to certain charities and/or revenue-generating or enterprise-level activities.
