Attention

As previously announced by Docker, Inc., the use of Docker Desktop by large organizations will be on a fee basis beginning Feb 1, 2022 (large organizations are defined as those with at least 250 employees or annual sales of at least $10 million). Small and mid-sized organizations, individual users, educational institutions, and non-profit open-source projects can continue to use Docker Desktop for free. However, large organizations will be required to purchase a paid subscription if they wish to continue using it.

For those who need to purchase a paid subscription but are unable to enter into a contract, we offer an unpaid environment as an alternative to Docker Desktop. Consider this alternative if needed.

For inquiries, please contact our Authentication Platform Operations Office.
