# **What are the differences between a.lot private and a.lot public license?**

**A.lot** provides its software under a dual license model to meet the development and distribution needs of both business customers as well as open source projects.

For business customers, we offer a **private** license that allows ANPR system to be linked into closed-source, proprietary applications. Additionally, business customers have access to a number of exciting enhancements that improve license plate recognition performance and efficiency. **Private** license for private parking lots allow access only to the pre-registered users in the system database and the administrator enters the allowed vehicle number plates into the list beforehand.

For open-source projects, we offer a **public** license that allows entry for all vehicles which are not blacklisted, while exit is possible only upon certain service conditions, e.g. upon payment for the parking time.

Both **private** and **public** license can be a **hybrid**, too.
