# License

* One year of updates
* Installation on up to **three Macs simultaneously per user license**
* 1 GB of cloud storage for projects while the license is active

Every Elements license includes everything you need to build a website, with a few key differences between plans.

[Visit the Elements website for a feature comparison chart](https://realmacsoftware.com/pricing/).

### Key Features Explained

The **Plus license** is designed for users who need or want more than the Base license but don’t require the full commercial permissions of the Pro license.

#### Custom Components

The Base license allows three Custom Components per project. **Plus and Pro allow an unlimited number of Custom Components per project.**

#### Global Components

The Base license allows two Globals per project. **Plus and Pro allow an unlimited number of Globals per project.**

#### Elements Branding

The Base license places a small floating badge in the corner of the published website. **Plus and Pro do not add visible Elements branding.**

#### Resell Websites (Pro Only)

An active Pro license is required for developing and selling websites to third-party clients.

### Why Choose a Plus License over a Base License?

With the **Plus license**, your sites are free from any Elements branding. This allows for a more professional and polished look, whether you’re building personal projects, websites for friends, or community sites.

Beyond branding, Plus also unlocks additional features, including **unlimited globals** and **unlimited custom components**, giving you more flexibility in designing and managing your websites. While this license allows for a wide range of non-commercial use, it does not permit selling websites to clients.

If you ever decide to take on paid web design work, upgrading to Pro ensures you have the proper license for commercial projects.

### Why Choose a Pro License?

An active Pro license is required for those using Elements as a professional tool. It ensures that as a Pro user you have everything you need to meet the demands of client work, from the freedom to sell websites to the reliable support and advanced features required to excel in a competitive market.

The Pro license pricing reflects the added value, flexibility, and commercial rights that the **Pro license** provides compared to the **Base license**.

The Pro license includes additional developer tools for building Dev Packs.

**Resell Websites and Client Projects** — An active Pro license is required to develop and sell websites to third-party clients. It is intended for freelancers, agencies and anyone who builds websites as part of a business.

The **Base license** is meant for personal projects or hobbyists, while the **Pro license** is designed for **freelancers, agencies, and businesses** who are making money from reselling websites.

**Priority Support** — Pro users receive priority assistance to help keep client projects moving.
