Community vs PRO Library Versions

If you want to know the difference between the free Community edition and the PRO version of the dhtmlxGantt library and what bonuses you get with the PRO edition, this guide is what you are looking for.

The PRO edition includes all the functionality of the Community edition and also contains additional useful features. The table below provides the list of features and allows you to compare the two versions of dhtmlxGantt.

info

Starting from DHTMLX Gantt v10, the free edition is the Community edition distributed under the MIT license. Previous free versions (v9.x and earlier) were distributed under the GPL v2 license, which still applies to those versions. The PRO/Commercial editions remain separate paid editions. See the migration guide for details on moving from the GPL edition to the Community edition.
