PrimeUI<br>Get full access
ANNOUNCEMENT
The Next Chapter of PrimeTek<br>For nearly two decades, PrimeTek has been building UI component libraries for developers around the world.<br>It started in 2008 with PrimeFaces for JavaServer Faces. Over time, the ecosystem expanded to PrimeNG for Angular, PrimeReact for React, and PrimeVue for Vue. What began as a focused open source project became a family of UI libraries used by individual developers, startups, enterprises, banks, hospitals, universities, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies across the world. Today, PrimeTek libraries are used at a global scale, with hundreds of millions of downloads across the ecosystem.<br>That scale is something we are deeply proud of. It is also something that requires a serious and sustainable foundation.<br>Today, we are announcing the next chapter of PrimeTek: PrimeUI , a unified licensing model for PrimeNG, PrimeReact, and PrimeVue, alongside a new generation of advanced premium components under PrimeUI PRO .<br>This change allows us to continue maintaining, improving, and expanding the PrimeTek ecosystem for the long term.<br>Why We Are Making This Change<br>PrimeTek has historically followed a simple model: the core libraries were free and open source, while the company generated revenue through add-on products such as templates, blocks, UI Kit, Theme Designer, support services, and long-term support licenses.<br>That model worked for many years.<br>But the reality has changed.<br>The way developers build software has evolved. Expectations for UI libraries have grown significantly, while the add-on model that once funded our work no longer matches the scale of what we maintain.<br>Maintaining four major UI libraries across four different platforms is no longer a small open source effort. Each library includes dozens of components, thousands of APIs, accessibility requirements, design system concerns, framework compatibility changes, browser updates, bug reports, security updates, documentation, examples, support requests, and continuous releases.<br>The expectations placed on these libraries are now enterprise-grade.<br>The old add-on store model can no longer fund the level of engineering, support, and product quality that our users need from PrimeTek.<br>We had a choice to make:<br>Continue with a model that was no longer sustainable, or create a commercial foundation that allows us to keep building PrimeTek products with the quality and reliability our community and customers expect.<br>We chose sustainability.<br>What Is PrimeUI?<br>PrimeUI is the new licensing brand for the PrimeTek UI library family.<br>The product names you know are not changing:<br>PrimeNG remains PrimeNG.<br>PrimeReact remains PrimeReact.<br>PrimeVue remains PrimeVue.<br>Your existing code, package names, imports, and framework choices do not need to change because of the PrimeUI brand.<br>PrimeUI provides a unified license that covers the professional use of our core UI libraries, together with PrimeUI PRO components included in the Commercial Suite as they are released.<br>Instead of separate commercial offerings scattered across different products, PrimeUI gives teams a clearer and more predictable way to license the ecosystem.<br>A note on PrimeFaces: PrimeFaces remains open source and continues independently. Going forward, PrimeFaces will be developed and maintained by independent volunteer developers who are not employees of PrimeTek. PrimeTek is no longer the maintainer of the project, but will continue to support PrimeFaces as its financial sponsor. PrimeFaces users are not affected by the PrimeUI licensing change. PrimeFaces LTS and Templates will be open sourced. All PrimeFaces PRO support contracts will be honored by PrimeTek until their expiry.<br>Community Remains Free for Eligible Users<br>We know PrimeTek would not exist without the developer community.<br>That is why we are keeping a free Community license for individuals, students, non-profits, non-commercial open source projects, and small organizations.<br>The Community license is free for organizations that meet all of the following criteria:<br>Less than $1M in annual revenue<br>Fewer than 5 developers<br>Fewer than 10 employees<br>Less than $3M in venture capital funding<br>Registration is self-service and based on an eligibility confirmation.<br>The Community license provides the same core library feature set as the Commercial license. We are not paywalling individual core components for eligible Community users.<br>Our goal is simple: PrimeTek should remain accessible to individuals, students, open source maintainers, small teams, and early-stage companies.<br>Commercial organizations that build on PrimeUI now license it like any other professional tool in their stack.<br>PrimeUI Licenses<br>PrimeUI launches with two licenses.<br>Community<br>Community is free for eligible users and organizations.<br>It includes access to PrimeNG, PrimeReact, and PrimeVue under the Community eligibility terms.<br>Community licenses are valid for 12 months and may be renewed at no cost by confirming continued...
