ABP Studio
Why do I need a Business license to use the MicroService template? We have a Team license. See attached screenshot.

Hello @John,
This is a business decision. To access the new microservice template and ABP Studio's Kubernetes panel, you need to have an
EnterpriseorBusinesslicense type.By the way, we are already trying to write this information in the documentation. See more: https://docs.abp.io/en/commercial/latest/studio/kubernetes#prerequisites
Thank you for your understanding 🙏

How does this make business sense? We pay for everything but source code access. We get all the templates (micro services) and Abp Suite. Now to use Abp Studio, we have to upgrade to Business edition because we use the micro service template already?

Hello, I understand you are right, but ABP Studio does not limit your ability to operate with your existing microservice template. Only in the
Teamlicense, you cannot create the new microservice template provided with ABP Studio and you cannot access the Kubernetes panel that comes with ABP Studio. Other than that, you can still use all other features. For example, if your existing microservice project is an ABP based project, you can click Initialize Existing Solution from the File Menu and automatically create the necessary files for ABP Studio. Then, you can architecturally change or run your services via ABP Studio but unfortunately, you will not have access to the Kubernetes panel. Some data guided us in making this decision, for example, it was understood that our customers who use Kubernetes or actively develop projects with microservice templates are also organizations withEnterpriseorBusinesslicenses. These types of organizations are usually larger thanTeamlicenses and they want to be able to access the source code, even if they are curious one day. Of course, there are rare exceptions like your organization, sorry for that. However, as a team member of the ABP framework, I can easily say that our goal with this decision is not to make a profit, we want to protect the developers using ABP from the hype train and ensure that they have successful businesses in the long run.I hope I have cleared any doubts in your minds about why we have made this decision. There may be organizations like you, but this is really a minority sorry for that again, but this is our decision for now.
