# VictoriaMetrics enterprise
VictoriaMetrics components are provided in two kinds - [community edition](https://victoriametrics.com/products/open-source/)
and [enterprise edition](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/).
VictoriaMetrics community components are open source and are free to use - see [the source code](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/)
and [the license](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/LICENSE).
The use of VictoriaMetrics enteprise components is permitted in the following cases:
- Evaluation use in non-production setups. Just download and run enterprise binaries or packages of VictoriaMetrics
components from usual places - [releases page](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) and [docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/victoriametrics).
Enterprise binaries and packages have `enterprise` suffix in their names.
- Production use if you have a valid enterprise contract or valid permit from VictoriaMetrics company.
[Contact us](mailto:info@victoriametrics.com) if you need such contract.
- [Managed VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/managed_victoriametrics/) is built on top of enterprise binaries of VictoriaMetrics.
All the enterprise apps require `-eula` command-line flag to be passed to them. This flag acknowledges that your usage fits one of the cases listed above.
