# Gantt Chart Pro licensing for channel users

No, not everyone in a channel needs a paid license. Gantt Chart Pro is licensed per user, and only the people who need Premium capabilities require a seat. Teammates who only need the Free experience can still open the tab and work within the Free limits, so you can mix Free and Premium users in the same channel.

A paid license unlocks unlimited tasks, subtasks, and participants, plus task colors, milestones, filtering, and exports. Free users keep full read and edit access within the Free limits.

# Who needs a paid license

License the users who need to go beyond the Free limits or use a Premium-only feature. In practice, that means anyone who needs to:

  • Add more than 5 main tasks, more than one subtask per task, or more than 3 participants per task.
  • Apply task colors or add milestones.
  • Filter the timeline or export the plan to CSV, Excel, or PDF.

When a Free user reaches a limit or selects a Premium-only feature, Gantt Chart Pro shows an upgrade prompt instead of blocking silently. For the exact caps, see limits, and compare the tiers on the plans page.

Premium users can export to CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and PDF to share reports or archive timelines. See export and reporting.
