Obsidian Eliminates Corporate Licenses, Enabling Free Access for Companies

Obsidian has canceled its corporate licensing model. Companies are no longer required to purchase subscriptions for their employees. This decision was made to simplify the management for customers who often found the previous terms and conditions confusing.

Previously, Obsidian’s policy stated that if more than two employees within a company were using Obsidian for work tasks, the company needed to obtain specific corporate licenses. Each employee was required to have an individual license.

As of February 20, this rule has been abolished. Any company can now use Obsidian for free in their operations, with full access to all features without restrictions or advertisements. Should the company wish to support the project, they can still opt for corporate licenses, which will be treated as voluntary donations.

Companies that secure 25 or more licenses for their employees will be featured on a dedicated Obsidian Enterprise page. Currently, the leading organizations in terms of corporate subscriptions are:

— Over 10,000 subscriptions — Amazon;
— Over 1,000 subscriptions — Google and CrowdStrike;
— Over 500 subscriptions — Capital One, Shopify, Meta*, the UK government;
— Over 200 subscriptions — ARM, Datev, PenTeleData, The Trade Desk, Naver, Shift Technology, the Canadian Centre for Security Communications;
— Over 100 subscriptions — Adesso, Apple, Behavior Interactive, CVS, Datadog, G-Research, General Electric, Marshall Wace, Praetorian, SAP, Sick, Siemens, Stripe, Thales, Zoox.
