StaxOffice products and editions #
StaxOffice is the free launcher and open foundation of the StaxSuite desktop family. The commercial structure is:
| Layer | Product | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Launcher | StaxOffice | Free (proprietary launcher) |
| Modules | StaxMD · StaxWord · StaxCode · StaxKB | Paid via StaxStore |
| Distribution | StaxStore | Licensing and billing surface |
Editions #
Edition gating separates the free launcher from the paid modules:
- StaxOffice (Free) — the launcher, dispatcher, file dispatch, and themes.
- StaxSuite Modules — individually licensed StaxMD, StaxWord, StaxCode, and StaxKB, or as a bundle.
- StaxSuite Complete — the full four-module bundle with a single license.
Edition and pricing details are finalized at launch and listed on StaxStore. This page records the model, not final prices.
Licensing model #
- Local-first and one-time. Modules are licensed per install; no mandatory cloud account or telemetry to use the free launcher.
- Proprietary EULA. Commercial modules are governed by a proprietary licence (not MIT), consistent with the current prototype EULA.
- Versions and updates. Paid modules follow the studio’s versioning and release standards.
