Hello,

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding here about how PostgreSQL's licensing works.

You do not pay for the community version of PostgreSQL.  The license specifically states it is available without a fee.  It's free.  No one collects money for the community version of PostgreSQL.

There's no "enterprise" version of PostgreSQL that is provided by the community.  It's just PostgreSQL.

There are vendors which provide either commercial versions of PostgreSQL based on the community version, or which provide commercial support for PostgreSQL, but those are separate things from the PostgreSQL community version, and you would need to talk to the individual companies to find out what their arrangements are.

Could you please guide me cost of PostgreSQL license which they want to get installed on their (client’s) on premise server. Not sure how pricing works for enterprise license which have all associated support for enterprise. Also not sure if we can install on any supported license for on-Prem server or we have to buy specific server recommended by PostgreSQL. Will appreciate your guidance here.

Just need guidance if I can install the available version from site for business purpose too or I must buy licenses? Will appreciate an appropriate related answer.
