# open http://localhost:8080

Developer FAQ

What's the difference between the open-source edition and Pro source?

The open-source edition (frontend mindio-web + backend mindio-server) is fully open on GitHub — read it, modify it, and deploy it. Pro source adds the complete, compilable source for Pro features.

How does the upgrade key work?

Every Pro purchase includes a one-time-use upgrade key for a discounted upgrade to the next version.

Can I just use the open-source edition, without buying Pro?

Of course — the open-source edition (frontend + backend) is fully free. You only need a Pro source license if you want the source for Pro features.
