Frequently Asked Questions

More questions? Contact us →

Is LocalDMS really free?

Yes. The LocalDMS Community Edition is free forever for up to 10 users — no credit card required, no expiration date, and no hidden fees. It's a fully functional document management system at no cost.

How much does LocalDMS cost for larger teams?

On-premises perpetual licenses start at $750 for up to 20 users, $3,000 for up to 50 users, and $5,000 for up to 100 users — larger deployments can contact us for custom pricing. You pay once — there are no annual renewal fees.

What is a perpetual license?

A perpetual license means you buy the software once and own it forever. Unlike SaaS document management subscriptions that charge annually or per user per month, LocalDMS on-premises licenses have no recurring fees.

Does LocalDMS include document version control?

Yes. Every document revision is automatically tracked. You can view the full revision history and retrieve any previous version at any time — essential for compliance and audit trails.

Can I deploy LocalDMS on my own servers?

Yes — on-premises deployment is LocalDMS's primary model. Install it on your own Windows server and maintain complete control over your data, security, and infrastructure. A hosted SaaS option is also available.

What's the difference between LocalDMS and expensive DMS platforms?

Most enterprise document management systems charge thousands of dollars per year in subscription fees. LocalDMS delivers the same core capabilities — version control, approvals, full-text search, role-based security — at a fraction of the cost, with a genuinely free tier for small teams.
