Professional Edition (retired)¶

Eight.ly Professional — the install-on-your-own-Debian NAS edition, sold separately at $39/yr or $99 lifetime — is retired. It is not sold anymore. Eight.ly now ships as one product, Eight.ly OS, installed by booting an image on bare metal or in a VM.

If you already run Professional¶

Nothing changes for your install today: it keeps running, keeps every feature it has, and keeps receiving security fixes.

There is no published step-by-step path from a Professional package install to the Eight.ly OS boot image — that's an open question, not something being withheld. Eight.ly does have a configuration export/import feature (Settings > Backup > Export configuration) that can carry users, API keys, and settings to a fresh install, but it isn't published as an edition-migration guide. Ask on Discord or contact support before relying on it for a move to Eight.ly OS.

If you want the current product¶

Eight.ly OS is the one product sold today — see pricing and what a license includes.
