Which Licence Should You Choose?
Section titled “Which Licence Should You Choose?”Enterprise
Choose Enterprise for multi-tenant work on every platform — with the Nextcloud app, file migration to Nextcloud; with the Nextcloud and Teams app licences, Power BI reporting and scheduled or recurring jobs; in the IDE, data transformation and migration automation.
Enterprise+
Choose Enterprise+ when you also need high-speed upload (every platform) or, in the IDE, separate development, test and production environments for more demanding migration projects. All Enterprise features are included.
Licence periods (Nextcloud app)
With the Nextcloud app, licences are available for 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 or 36 months. Select the period that matches your migration project and operational requirements.

Nextcloud Files: Migrate selected content into Nextcloud Files for users to access and work with in the destination environment.

Enterprise+ Capabilities
Section titled “Enterprise+ Capabilities”Included in Enterprise+ only
High-speed upload (all platforms): Upload content up to three times faster than Enterprise. Actual performance depends on the source, network and destination.
Separate environments (IDE): Build migration workflows in development, validate them in test and run approved workflows in production.
Version history built from a data set (IDE, SharePoint destinations): Assemble a document's versions from rows of data. Rows in a For-Each data set that share a document key become one document, in the order of their version column: three rows become versions 1, 2 and 3, each with its own file and its own metadata — name, created, modified, modified by — and the last row is the current version. Made for migrations from custom or legacy document management systems, where the files are kept apart from the data that describes them (Migration Automation).
