Editions
Adaptive Vision Studio comes in one of the three editions.
- Professional - Full-functionality edition intended for commercial use.
- Student - Limited-functionality edition available (free of charge) only for members of the academic community. Suitable for classes and research projects.
- Lite - Limited-functionality edition available (free of charge) for everyone. Lack of certain features renders this edition unsuitable for real-life applications, though it is enough to develop simple programs and learn the Adaptive Vision Studio programming model.

Runtime Licenses
Professional, Student and Lite licenses are for development. For runtime you will need a combination of the following:
- Executor - License accepted by the runtime applications and libraries (Adaptive Vision Executor, Adaptive Vision Console and Executor Library).
- AVL - License required by the filters of Adaptive Vision. The same license is accepted by Adaptive Vision Library.
- GigE - License required by GigE Vision related filters. The same license is accepted by Adaptive Vision GigE SDK.
Note also that there are three groups of filters provided free of charge. These are standard filters (operations on numbers, arrays etc.), filters supporting cameras through their manufacturers' sdks and filters related to OpenCV and Libdmtx libraries.
