Early Access Program (EAP) license

The Early Access Program (EAP) license lets you use and test pre-release builds of DBeaver Lite, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition for free.

Important

Early Access builds may include new or unfinished features and can be unstable. Please use EAP builds at your own risk.

How it works

You can join the Early Access Program directly in DBeaver once your trial license expires. After joining, you’ll get a special license key that works only with Early Access builds.

Participation in the program has no time limit as long as you follow the restrictions. DBeaver may change or stop the program at any time without prior notice.

Before you start, please review the main terms and limitations below:

Terms

By joining the Early Access Program, you agree to the following:

  • Non-commercial use only - EAP builds are provided not for commercial use.
  • Anonymous statistics collection - DBeaver collects basic anonymous data to improve the product.

Restrictions

The Early Access Program license comes with several limitations:

  • 3 database connections - you can have only three simultaneous connections. If more are configured, the app won’t start until you remove the extra ones.
  • 5 tasks - you can create and run up to five simultaneous tasks. For composite tasks, both the composite task and its components are counted.
  • No CLI - command-line execution is not available.
  • No task scheduler - you can’t schedule tasks to run automatically.
  • One default workspace - DBeaver runs only with the default workspace.
  • One default project - DBeaver runs only with the default project.

Note

Each Early Access build works for one month from its creation date. After that, you’ll need to download a new build from the DBeaver website.
