This article covers three connected topics in OutSystems licensing: the metering of AI agents and the Mentor development assistant in OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC), who bears the cost of the underlying language models, and the trial, demonstration and Personal Edition licences. OutSystems describes its Agent Workbench as a way to “design, build, govern, and scale agentic AI systems” and Mentor as a use of generative AI to build apps with no coding required.[2] The licensing documents say less about these products than about the core Application Object and end-user model, and the gaps are noted below.
Editions
The fair use page lists AI-related capacity inside the ODC Platform Edition rather than as separate editions: a default monthly total of Agent Executions and a statement on Mentor Studio.[1] The pricing page lists no separate AI subscription, only “Agentic Systems Platform”, add-ons and the Personal Edition.[6] The FAQ says trial environments and evaluation options allow AI agent testing before production, typically with limited executions or sandbox environments.[2]
Metrics
Agent Execution
The fair use page defines the Agent Executions resource as “the total number of Agent Executions available per month”, with a default of 10,000 per month for an ODC subscription.[1] The row is Agent Execution. The page does not say what constitutes one execution; the OutSystems Support page on agent execution that would answer this was not retrievable for this article, so no definition is given here. Customers can monitor entitlements and usage in the Subscription Console of the ODC Portal, and ODC Compute Add-Ons can raise the capacity for each resource, with options and pricing from the account team.[1] The programme row is ODC default resource capacity.
AI models and Application Objects
AI features also reach the core meter. The Application Objects page says that each API method consumed through AI Models counts as 1 AO, and that each API method imported through Data Fabric, for example MCP tools, counts as 1 AO.[4] Connecting several models or tools to apps therefore adds to the AO count even where agent executions are within the monthly default. See OutSystems Application Objects.
Counting and floors
Mentor Studio
The fair use page states that “usage of Mentor Studio during the promotional period is subject to fair use limits”, and that OutSystems reserves the right to adjust the limits at any time during that period to ensure service quality for all users.[1] No numeric limit and no end date for the promotional period are stated. The programme row is Mentor Studio promotional period. A licence manager should record the date of the page used (2026-04-02) and check the Order for any commitment about Mentor, because a promotional period implies that the terms may change.
Cost of language models
The FAQ states that “Customers pay AI providers directly for LLM token consumption when using external models”. OutSystems enables secure connectivity, but model usage charges stay between the customer and its chosen provider, which OutSystems says provides transparency in cost tracking and vendor flexibility.[2] The FAQ names Amazon Bedrock, ChatGPT and Azure OpenAI as examples of services that can be connected.[2] The row is Customers pay model providers directly for LLM tokens when using external models. The documents do not describe the cost of models that OutSystems itself provides within the platform, so an organization should obtain that from the Order.
Data handling for AI features
The Master Subscription Agreement says the AI Features serve the customer’s development and maintenance of applications, that OutSystems “does not use or retain Customer Content or Confidential Information of Customer to train or fine-tune these AI models”, and that for models licensed from third parties it has enterprise agreements preventing the use of OutSystems and customer data to train or validate those models.[3] The row is OutSystems does not train AI models on customer content.
Trial, demonstration and Personal Edition licences
Trial types
The Software License Trial Agreement, headed “Updated: Tuesday, September 30, 2025”, grants a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, temporary right to use the Software up to the installed capacity determined by OutSystems, for the period and purposes in its Exhibit A.[5] Exhibit A lists five trial types:[5]
| Trial type | Special terms |
|---|---|
| O11 Enterprise Trial (OutSystems 11) | Internal evaluation in a dedicated environment for up to 30 calendar days |
| ODC Trial (OutSystems Developer Cloud) | Internal evaluation in a dedicated environment for up to 30 calendar days |
| Demonstration (partner, ISV or MSP) | Use to demonstrate to a prospective customer for its internal evaluation, up to 30 days |
| O11 Personal Environment | Develop and operate applications up to OutSystems’ limits until OutSystems gives notice of termination |
| OutSystems Personal Edition (ODC) | Same as the Personal Environment |
The catalog rows are ODC Trial, O11 Enterprise Trial, Partner, ISV or MSP demonstration licence, OutSystems 11 Personal Environment and OutSystems Personal Edition. The Personal Edition is also described by the FAQ as free, supporting up to 100 users and intended for evaluation and learning.[2]
Restrictions
The trial agreement bars use by a direct competitor of OutSystems, or use to provide an evaluation or demonstration for the benefit of a direct competitor, unless OutSystems authorizes it in writing.[5] On expiry of the trial period, the user must discontinue use, deactivate the licence key following OutSystems instructions, and destroy or delete downloaded documentation and any stored Software screens, data or content.[5] Among the restrictions, the user may not sell, rent or sublicense the Software, make it available to third parties without written consent, circumvent the measure that controls or measures usage, or use it to provide third-party training; the restrictions apply “unless otherwise authorized under this Agreement for the applicable trial type indicated in Exhibit A”.[5] The user is liable for losses suffered by OutSystems from breaches and must indemnify OutSystems for related third-party claims, and OutSystems’ liability under the agreement is limited to USD 100.[5] The rows are ODC and O11 trials and partner demonstrations run up to 30 days, Personal Edition and Personal Environment run until OutSystems gives notice and Direct competitors may not use the trial software or demonstrate for a competitor.
Moving from a trial to a subscription
The trial types are for evaluation; a customer that wants to run production applications needs a subscription under an Order. The Master Subscription Agreement, not the trial agreement, then governs, and AO capacity applies to production runtimes.[3][4] The pages reviewed do not describe how applications built in a Personal Edition are moved to a subscription; OutSystems support pages on that topic exist but were not retrievable.
Virtualization and partitioning
Not applicable to AI and trial licensing in the pages reviewed.
Cloud and self-managed
Agent Executions are an ODC resource, and ODC is a cloud offering. For O11 and self-managed customers the fair use page lists no Agent Executions entitlement.[1]
Programs
The programmes are Mentor Studio promotional period, Trial, Personal Edition and demonstration licences and ODC default resource capacity.
Out of scope
This article does not cover the definition of an agent execution, the price of additional Agent Executions or of Mentor, third-party model terms, or the Early Access Software Test Agreement. It does not cover the AO and end-user model, which is in OutSystems licensing.
