Community Edition vs Transiva Platform (Enterprise)
Note: Zyvor is moving to an enterprise subscription model for new quotes: an annual subscription that includes updates and the stated support level, with open-source and non-production terms unchanged. See
docs/SUBSCRIPTION-MODEL.mdin this repository. Rates below apply to existing agreements; contact sales@zyvor.dev for current rates.
Community Edition (this repo) proves export in a lab.
Transiva Platform is what you buy to run a hypervisor-exit program.
CE is free forever for PoC. The moment you need CBT cutover windows, waves, SSO, the full provider matrix, or a named owner when the bridge is live — that is Platform. Day-2 lands on Zeus OS. One slipped estate wave usually costs more than the license.

Pipeline: Transiva (export, Apache-2.0) → h2kvm (convert and deploy) → GuestKit (assure, Apache-2.0) → Zeus OS or Zorvia (operate)

Why buy Platform (Enterprise)
- Two providers and a CLI do not run a multi-wave estate exit — Platform is the operating system for the program
- Full-export weekends fail change freeze — CBT and smart fallbacks shrink the window
- Security needs SSO, vaulted secrets, and an audit stream — not a weekend OIDC experiment under freeze
- Executives need wave plans, readiness checks, and exportable reports — CLI screenshots do not survive steering
- You want Zyvor on the critical path — GitHub Issues is not a cutover war-room
CE is free forever for labs. Buy Platform when the estate must move.
