OpenConf Professional License – OpenConf on your server

The OpenConf Professional License is available if you prefer to have OpenConf on your own server or will hire someone to install, customize, or maintain the OpenConf software. There is also the option with the OpenConf Professional License to have one of our technicians install the OpenConf software on your server if you already have Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed and properly configured.

icon Community Edition

OpenConf Community Edition is the right option if you:

  • just need the basics: submission with single file upload, review assignment, online reviews, scoring, acceptance and notification
  • know what PHP and MySQL are, and have access to a web server that supports them
  • are able to install and maintain the software yourself without external assistance
  • do not require any of OpenConf's advanced modules
  • are not being paid for providing OpenConf-related services
  • agree to abide by the OpenConf License
