Enterprise licence

Tares is open source under the MIT licence, and a Tares you run yourself has every feature for one person. The enterprise licence adds working as a team on one self-hosted Tares: several people, each with their own key and crew, project leads and private projects, repo owners, and grants that wait for the right person.

Get a key

Write to help@glassflow.ai with your organisation’s name and how many people will use Tares. A key names the organisation, the number of seats and the date it ends. It is checked on the Tares itself, with nothing sent anywhere.

Add the key

Paste it under Settings, Workspace, Enterprise licence in the console, or set it in the daemon’s environment:

TARES_LICENSE=TL1....

The licence page then shows the organisation, the seats, how many are in use, and when the key ends. GET /api/licence answers the same, never the key itself.

Seats and the end date

A seat is a person on the Tares. When every seat is in use, adding a person is refused until you remove someone or get more seats.

The desk tells you 30 days and 7 days before the key ends, when it ends, and when there are more people than seats. After the end date, adding people is refused until you add a new key, and the people already on the Tares keep working.

/metrics shows tares_licence_valid, tares_licence_seats, tares_licence_used and tares_licence_days_left, so you can alert on them.

What the licence covers

• more than one person on the Tares
• ticket assignees, including assignees synced from Linear and GitHub Issues
• repo owners and questions to repo owners during a spec
• a project’s lead, privacy and members
• grants that wait for someone else to agree
• desk items addressed to someone else
• a crew per person and machine

Where the code lives

The enterprise code is in the ee/ folder of the Tares repository , under its own licence (ee/LICENSE). It ships in the same package and image as the rest of Tares and stays off until a key is added.
