TeamHub

Licensing transparency

What connects to our licence server — and what doesn't?

TeamHub runs in your own Nextcloud. Community telemetry, connected licensing and offline validation are different things. The online licensing client is currently on the development server and is planned for the next public TeamHub release.

Huub explains the three licensing modes.

Hi, I'm Huub. The simple version: Community may send usage telemetry. Our upcoming online licensing mode will contact the licence server; offline licensing is designed for local validation.

Release status (28 October 2026): Connected online licensing is implemented on the development server but has not yet been included in the public repository release. The behaviours below describe the intended licensing models, not verified network traces of the released app. Confirm availability and technical details against the specific installed version before procurement or deployment.

Three different situations

Being self-hosted does not automatically mean that every licence mode is disconnected from external services.

Community / no active licence

Separate Community usage telemetry. Under the published policy the app sends a daily usage report with counts, versions, an installation identifier and configured link hostnames. This is not fully anonymous; see the detailed telemetry page. It is not the same as online commercial licence reporting.

When an active licence or trial is installed, Community telemetry is disabled according to the current published licensing policy.

Online commercial licence (next release)

Connected licensing, in development. The planned mode communicates with the Doek Works licence server for licence administration and active licensed-member reporting used in billing.

The release will require outbound connectivity. Its exact data fields, timing, failure behaviour and endpoint should be documented and verified against the deployed implementation before making formal privacy or network-assurance claims.

Offline commercial licence

Local validation model. Offline keys are intended to be checked locally without connecting to the Doek Works licence server for validation or seat reporting.

Licence terms define the seat band. Confirm the mode is supported by the installed release; other Nextcloud apps can still have independent external connections.

Data and infrastructure

Collaboration remains in your Nextcloud.

TeamHub does not move your team workspace to Doek Works. Files, chat and tasks remain in the Nextcloud applications where they originate. A licence-server connection is not a hosted work environment.

Because the connected client is not yet in the public repository, its precise payload, identifiers, connection frequency, endpoint, authentication, retries and outage behaviour have not been independently verified for this website update. These details need to be reviewed against the development-server implementation and release before formal privacy or network-assurance statements.

Choosing between the two commercial options

  • Expect changing seat counts and connected billing? Consider an online growth licence.
  • Need an isolated deployment, or a strictly fixed band? Discuss an offline licence.
  • Not ready for broad deployment? Agree a smaller supported pilot.
