The “Technical preview” - is it about the cloud version or self-hosting? Does that mean, that current version in the Github / Docker has SSO / SAML, but eventually these features will be moved to paid tier? Will you have a page similar to PRICING ([Pricing](https://nocodb.com/pricing)) but for self-hosting? ---

Missed out this thread. @slavik , technical preview is about cloud. SSO is work in progress & will be available for cloud & enterprise on-prem customers soon. Self hosted OSS will continue to remain free. ---

Gentlemen, is there any progress on this? I need SSO and also regexp field validations in form conditions on a self-hosted environment (EU GDPR requirements). We cannot host on NocoDB cloud. Any pricing for this group? ---

hey @dfy, have responded to your email about the query related to **FREE ENTERPRISE LICENSE** as you are educational organisation doing research. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide our **ENTERPRISE LICENSE for FREE**. The reason being : we already are offering several thousands worth of product for free for every team in open source way. None of the other companies are so giving in this space compared to NocoDB. And we would have to look at our own sustainability.
