IDE
Licensed SafireIDE
The professional productivity surface: visual design, source, data tools, project targets, diagnostics, testing, Vault integration and controlled AI assistance.
Licensing
Developer productivity. Source ownership. Perpetual use.
Safire's published Version 1 purchase path is based on a perpetual license for the Safire software version purchased, while keeping a clear boundary between the professional development environment and deployed applications.
Commercial licensing
SRC
Your application source
Readable Safire source and project metadata remain developer-owned. The IDE must not become the only place where the application truth exists.
RT
Deployable applications
End users run the application and required runtime components — not the professional development environment.
Boundary
A commercial IDE without a source lock-in.
| Area | SafireIDE / development environment | Runtime / source path |
|---|---|---|
| Visual design | Professional RAD productivity surface | Source remains readable, reviewable and buildable |
| AI workflow | Context, proposals, diffs, apply controls and audit | AI remains optional; source changes remain reviewable |
| Build & package | Integrated build, package, diagnostics and release tooling | Command-line and reproducible build paths remain important |
| Deployment | Developer tooling prepares the application | End users run the deployed application/runtime, not the IDE |
| Support | Diagnostics, tests and support bundles | Runtime logs and application artefacts support field diagnosis |
Perpetual Version 1 path
The purchased software version does not become a forced subscription.
The current pricing page defines Alpha, Beta and Commercial V1 as purchase windows into the same Safire product line. A perpetual license means the purchased software version can continue to be used under the published license terms.
Commercial detail: final license text, runtime redistribution clauses, support terms and future major-version upgrade pricing should be read from the applicable published agreement when released. Public preview terms may still change before commercial launch.
