## FAQ
### Do I need a license key to use BentoPDF?
No. BentoPDF does not use license keys. The commercial license grants you legal rights to use the software in proprietary applications.
### Can I use BentoPDF in my SaaS product?
Yes, with a commercial license. Without it, you must comply with AGPL-3.0, which requires you to make your full source code available to users.
### What about the AGPL components?
Components like CPDF are licensed under AGPL v3 and remain under that license. The commercial license covers BentoPDF's own code but does not override third-party AGPL obligations.
### How do I get an invoice?
Email [contact@bentopdf.com](mailto:contact@bentopdf.com) with your Ko-fi purchase confirmation, and we'll send an official invoice.
