DataWorks provides Basic Edition and four advanced editions: Standard Edition, Professional Edition, and Enterprise Edition. You can purchase an edition based on your business requirements. This topic describes the differences in scenarios and features among the DataWorks editions.
Considerations for purchase
- DataWorks Basic Edition is free of charge. DataWorks advanced editions support the subscription billing method. For more information, see Billing overview.
- Only one DataWorks advanced edition can be purchased in a region at a time. You can purchase another edition in the same region only after the purchased edition expires and is released. You can upgrade a DataWorks advanced edition to a more advanced edition before it expires.
- After you activate DataWorks of an advanced edition in a region, you can use the features provided by the edition in both newly created workspaces and existing workspaces in the region.
- If you do not renew a DataWorks advanced edition before it expires, the advanced edition is downgraded to DataWorks Basic Edition. For more information about the downgrade rules for specific features of advanced editions, see Feature downgrades of DataWorks advanced editions upon expiration.
