Why Choose Enterprise?
The Enterprise Program addresses the needs of large organizations that require licensing flexibility, guaranteed support, or access to exclusive platform packages. Enterprise licensing can be per-application, or extended to suite licensing across multiple platforms, transferable licenses between applications, redistribution rights, and customized terms that align with organizational procurement processes.
Beyond licensing flexibility, the Enterprise Program provides access to platform packages that are not available in the Commercial Edition, including Cordova, JDBC, React Native, and specialized Apple platforms like watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Organizations can also opt for FIPS 140-2 validated packages when operating in regulated environments or working with government contracts.
The Enterprise Program also ensures that critical applications have the support they need. Organizations can increase the confidence and efficiency of their development teams with guaranteed response times under a Service Level Agreement, direct access to the SQLCipher development team, and priority handling of support requests.

- Redistribution licensing including SDK distributions
- Transferable licenses between organizations
- Site-wide or team-based licensing
- Customized license terms and agreements
- Co-termed licenses

Enterprise Support with SLA
Enterprise support provides direct access to the SQLCipher development team at Zetetic with guaranteed response times under a Service Level Agreement. When issues arise in production environments, having guaranteed access to the team that built SQLCipher can be critical to resolving problems quickly and maintaining application availability.
Enterprise support includes guaranteed issue acknowledgement times based on severity level, direct notification of available updates, and private priority email support from Zetetic developers. Enhanced support channels are available including pre-scheduled telephone calls, web meetings, or emergency support when needed. Support services also include code review of applications using SQLCipher, implementation guidance for incorporating SQLCipher into applications, detailed troubleshooting and analysis of reported issues, and consultation with staff developers as required.
Custom SLA requirements can be accommodated. All Enterprise support requests are prioritized above public channels and lower-tier support agreements.
Enterprise Procurement Options
Large organizations often have specific procurement requirements that standard e-commerce payment methods cannot accommodate. The Enterprise Program supports flexible payment and procurement methods to align with enterprise purchasing processes.
Procurement and Compliance Considerations
Organizations with formal procurement policies or those in regulated industries often require vendors to support purchase orders, multi-year contracts, and specialized legal terms. The Enterprise Program is designed to meet these requirements and ensure smooth procurement and legal review processes.
- Purchase Order (PO) support
- Wire transfer and ACH payments
- Standard invoicing
- Multi-year agreements
- Legal review accommodation
