  2. '''Can I buy a commercial license for !VirtualBox?'''
 
- If you are an individual end user, there is generally no need to purchase a commercial license, provided that you respect, in the case of !VirtualBox OSE, the terms and conditions of the [wiki:"GPL"], or, in the case of the full !VirtualBox package, those of the [wiki:"VirtualBox PUEL" Personal Use and Evaluation License].

  As an enterprise customer, we encourage you to purchase a commercial license from !InnoTek and receive benefits such as access to enterprise features and support for mission-critical use of !VirtualBox. We also encourage ISVs and IHVs to incorporate !VirtualBox into their offerings, either based on the GPL or preferably through a custom license deal with !InnoTek.

  We are not currently planning to do so, but it doesn't really matter. Any code that was once released under the GPL cannot be "closed" again. The license that !InnoTek has granted you with the GPL is perpetual and cannot be taken back. Even if !InnoTek wanted to change the license again, this could only affect future versions, and anybody would still be permitted to redistribute the existing !VirtualBox code under the terms of the GPL.

  Personal use is when you install the product on one or more PCs yourself and you make use of it (or even your friend, sister and grandmother). It doesn't matter whether you just use it for fun or run your multi-million euro business with it. Also, if you install it on your work PC at some large company, this is still personal use. However, if you are an administrator and want to deploy it to the 500 desktops in your company, this would not qualify as ''personal use''. Well, you could ask each of your 500 employees to install !VirtualBox but don't you think we deserve some money in this case? We'd even assist you with any issue you might have.
