Free and Pro editions

Understand standalone runtime ownership, compatible storage, licensing, and downgrade behavior.

Standalone editions

Free and Pro are separately installed and versioned plugins. Each contains the complete shared Events core. Free requires no Drecha account, license, quota, expiry, tracking, or routine external request. Pro adds licensed functionality without changing the shared storage contract.

Scenario	Verified result
Free only	Advertised Free events, bookings, customers, appointments, reports, blocks, and shortcodes work
Pro only	Shared core and entitled Pro features work without Free installed
Both active	Pro owns one runtime and Free yields before registering shared hooks
Pro access ends	Stored data remains; new Pro mutations stop and Free workflows remain available

Use the Free versus Pro comparison for the current capability matrix and Keep Events working when Pro is unavailable for fallback checks.
