# PE and Dev Support

## What is the difference between the Development and Production subscriptions?

See [this page for details](https://www.orbeon.com/pricing).

## Do you provide free or discounted non-profit and/or educational licenses?

In general, we don't, and we couldn't explain why better than [this blog post at 37signals](https://signalvnoise.com/posts/2580-why-non-profit-pricing), which we recommend reading.

## Do you have an official list of patches?

We don't have a list of patches you can just download.

However, we do provide custom patches to PE customers on a case by case basis.

* Often such patches are backports of commits publicly available in the public source code repository.
* Sometimes, they are created specifically to address issues you report.

Some patches are also available in the latest stable release of Orbeon Forms PE, which you can find from the [downloads page](https://www.orbeon.com/download).

If you are interested to know what kind of issues and features are being worked on, please make sure to check the following:

* [Commits to the public source code repository](https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/commits/master)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.orbeon.com/faq/pe-dev-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
