You install and run the stack; NetBird provides the license and guidance. A commercial proof of concept runs for 30 days by default. +### What does the server share with the NetBird license service? + +The server running the self-hosted Enterprise edition requires a connection to the NetBird license service at `license.netbird.io`. Besides validating the license key, the server shares the following information about the installation: + +- Installation UUID, generated randomly on first start +- Reporter ID, the MAC address of the management host or container's network interface +- NetBird version and server uptime +- Usage counters such as the number of accounts, active peers, active users, policies, posture checks, and which features are enabled + +Only the aggregate counters above are included. No individual peer, user, network, or traffic records, no identifiers other than the ones listed, and no IP address or platform data are sent. The counters are part of the license validation call and cannot be disabled separately. Independently of the license, the server also sends the [anonymous usage metrics](/about-netbird/faq#why-and-what-are-the-anonymous-usage-metrics) inherited from the Community Edition, which can be disabled with `NETBIRD_DISABLE_ANONYMOUS_METRICS=true`. + ## Summary - The **Enterprise Commercial License** is the paid tier for self-hosting on your own infrastructure (the equivalent of Cloud's Business plan, but for the stack you run).
