Software License
Last updated
The short version
- The AffiliateTracking engine is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL-3.0).
- Run it, change it and share it. Changes you make for your own business can stay private.
- If you offer the software, or something built on it, to other people as a hosted service, you publish your changes under the same license.
- There is no license key, no activation and no fee. Nothing to refund.
The full license is what counts. This summary isn't part of it.
What the AGPL-3.0 means for you
Running it. You may run AffiliateTracking for your own business on as many servers and domains as you like, for free. Agencies may run it for their clients. Nothing phones home and nothing switches off.
Changing it. You may read and change the source code. If you only use your changed version yourself, you don't have to publish the changes.
Offering it to others. If people interact with your changed version over a network, for example because you host it as a service for other companies, the license asks you to offer them the source code of your version under the same license. This is the one difference between the AGPL and the ordinary GPL, and it's why we chose it.
No warranty. The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Fraud rules and holds are a decision aid: you decide which commissions to pay, hold or reject.
What the release covers. The core engine: tracking, commissions, fraud rules, ledger, payouts, the admin screen and the partner portal. The Shopify app and the WordPress plugin are separate products with their own pricing, and their code is not part of this release.
Cloud is separate. AffiliateTracking Cloud, where we run the software for you, is a paid service covered by our Terms of Service, not by this license. The engine that runs there is the same open-source code.
The full text
The license is the unmodified GNU Affero General Public License, version 3, 19 November 2007, published by the Free Software Foundation. The copy that ships with the code is the one that counts.
- AGPL-3.0 at gnu.org, with the Free Software Foundation's own explanation.

Copyright (c) 2026 SAAS SEO AGENCY LLC. Third-party open source components in the software are licensed under their own terms, which are listed with the software.
Before 31 October 2026
Until 31 October 2026 the self-hosted software was sold under a commercial license. If you bought a license then, you can keep using it under those terms, or switch to the AGPL-3.0 at any time by using the open-source release. Nothing you paid for stops working.
