Hello Bitwarden Team and Community,
We are currently planning our self-hosted deployment and want to make sure we fully understand the licensing implications before moving forward.
Our company would remain a single Organization, but due to operational requirements we may need to run two separate self-hosted Bitwarden instances. These two servers would be isolated on different networks with no connectivity between them.
The same employees (for example, User A and User B) would need accounts on both instances, since they rotate between sites.
My question:
-
If both servers belong to the same Organization, can we apply the same Organization license file to each instance and only pay for the actual number of unique users (e.g., 2 seats total for User A and User B)?
-
Or would Bitwarden licensing consider each server as a separate environment, meaning we would need to license the same users twice (effectively 4 seats)?
I want to confirm whether this type of setup is allowed and compliant under Bitwarden’s licensing terms.
Thank you for clarifying before we finalize our deployment plans.
