If you purchase a personal license, you’ll be able to use it at work and for commercial purposes at your company. Just note that a personal license can only be issued to **named individuals** , not companies. If you want the license to be held by the company, you probably want to go for a company pack instead. See here for details: [https://prodi.gy/buy](https://prodi.gy/buy) ---

Company licenses are only available in packs of 5, yes. The license system is basically to have company packs on a “per team” basis, with a team operationalised as 1-5 people. This matches up pretty well with how we’ve seen people using the software. The licenses are “floating” and tranferrable within the company, so we cannot issue them one-by-one. ---

@omrison Yes, absolutely! If it’s only you that has access to the Prodigy installer/back-end, you can install it on any of your machines, including cloud machines 🙂 ---

Hi! I was thinking about purchasing the personal license. Most of my doubts were clarified seeing the previous responses save one which is, How do i save/export the annotated data or rather where are all the details of the annotated data stored? Thanks Sid ---

> [@postmenone](#): > > How do i save/export the annotated data or rather where are all the details of the annotated data stored? By default, the annotations are stored in a local SQLite database. But you can also configure Prodigy to use PostgreSQL or MySQL ([see here](https://prodi.gy/docs/#db)) or write your own fully custom database adapter ([see here for an example](https://support.prodi.gy/t/using-google-firestore-as-database-or-not/1358)). Using the `db-out` method, you can export a dataset to a JSONL file. Each entry is represented as prettx straightforward JSON, so it should also be no problem to use the data for other processes outside of Prodigy. ```bash prodigy db-out your_dataset > annotations.jsonl ``` ---

I have a small doubt, I am planning to buy personal License , if I buy 1 personal license can I add my fellow annotater in my project? Because we need to use IAA feature of Prodigy for good quality of data. ---

I am planning to buy Personal License of Prodigy. But I can add my fellow annotaters in the same project which I will be setting up in my system? ---

> [@Poonam](#): > > But I can add my fellow annotaters in the same project which I will be setting up in my system? Yes, that's no problem. Annotators who only have access to the hosted web app don't require a license, so you can have as many annotators as you need. A license is required for everyone who has access to the Python library and back-end. ---

Okay.. Can you explain then what is difference between the Company License and Personal License. A bit confused. ---

The Personal License is a lifetime license assigned to a specific person. It can't be transferred to another person. The Company License is assigned to a company and includes 5 developer seats for teams of up to 5 people. The seats can be transferred between developers, so if one person leaves, someone else can take over.
