rabbitmq github license

Wiki Article

How is RabbitMQ commercial licensing structured Commercial RabbitMQ — the Tanzu RabbitMQ distribution from Broadcom — is licensed by vCPU core count. Not by users, not by messages, not by throughput. By the number of virtual CPU cores your rabbitmq licensing cost RabbitMQ brokers run on across all environments.

That includes production and non-production. If you're running RabbitMQ on a 12-core VM in production and a 4-core VM in QA, you're licensing for 16 vCPUs in total. There's no production-only option through Broadcom.

Two vCPUs count as one physical core for licensing purposes — a nuance that often surprises teams when they first price out a quote.
