   Neo4j Enterprise is available under a dual license model. You have the choice of using it with either a commercial or the open source https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html[AGPLv3 license, window="_blank"]
   
  -The commercial license is included with paid commercial subscriptions.
  +The commercial license is included when you purchase a paid commercial annual subscription. 
   
   If you don't have a commercial license, then Neo4j Enterprise simply defaults to the standard open source https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html[AGPLv3 license, window="_blank"]. 
   
   
  -You can use Neo4j Enterprise with it's open source license in any environment , including production, and yes you CAN use it in closed source projects!  There are no core or instance limitations if you use it under the open source license.

   The commercial license is actually more restrictive in most scenarios, so what are you really paying for when you purchase a Neo4j Enterprise commercial subscription? 
   
   You are basically paying for production email and phone support for Neo4j.    
   
  -It is very important to understand that Neo4j production support only covers Neo4j. It does not cover any of the other software you use in your project such as ElasticSearch, Kafka, client side UI, micro-services, or custom applications. I.E. It only covers a single component of your technology stack.
  -
  -If you need production support for your project, it makes no sense to purchase production support for Neo4j while leaving all the other software unsupported.
  -
  -Buying support for Neo4j would be like only getting support for the water pump of a new custom car you had built.  If its transmission fails - good luck!
