Virtualbox License Agreement

The Extension Pack is what you need to purchase a license for. Although VirtualBox offers experimental support for macOS customers, the macOS End User License Agreement does not allow the operating system to run on non-Apple hardware, and this is imposed within the operating system by calling the Apple System Management Controller (SMC) in all Apple machines, which verifies the authenticity of the hardware. [30] Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Anyone is authorized to copy and distribute literal copies of this license document, but no modification is permitted. As long as you don`t do anything that benefits your business, you can use VirtualBox Enterprise without paying for a license. Nevertheless, you should pay attention to formulations such as personal use, educational use, or evaluation, as defined by Oracle in the Personal Use and Evaluation License Agreement (PUEL). If you use Enterprise Edition for the benefit of your business or if you need additional functionality, such use is considered commercial use and you must purchase licenses. The only limited part is the Extension Pack, which can only be used for free for personal, educational or evaluation use. If your organization uses the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack software for production or commercial purposes, such use must be licensed commercially. This VirtualBox Extension Pack Personal Use and Evaluation License regulates your access to and use of the VirtualBox Extension Pack.
