# 4. Add-ons, License, and Support

## Add-ons

In addition to our core package (CRUD), we have quite a few packages you can install or download that deal with common use cases. Some have been developed by our core team, some by our wonderful community. For example, we have plug&play interfaces to manage [site-wide settings](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/Settings), [the default Laravel users table](https://github.com/eduardoarandah/UserManager), [users, groups & permissions](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/PermissionManager), [content for custom pages, using page templates](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/PageManager), [news articles, categories and tags](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/NewsCRUD), etc.

## License

Backpack is open-core. The features you'll find in our docs are split into two packages:

- [Backpack\CRUD](https://github.com/laravel-backpack/crud) is the core, released under the [MIT License](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/blob/master/LICENSE.md) (free, open-source) [FREE]
- [Backpack\PRO](https://backpackforlaravel.com/products/pro-for-unlimited-projects) is a Backpack add-on, released under our [EULA](https://backpackforlaravel.com/eula) (paid, closed-source) [PRO]

Backpack\CRUD (MIT, free) is suitable for simple and open-source admin panels. [Backpack\PRO](https://backpackforlaravel.com/products/pro-for-unlimited-projects) adds features for complex cases — all PRO features are labeled [PRO] in the docs.

## Support

Free support for bug reports only — not for debugging or implementation help. Please note that support does _not_ mean we can help with debugging, implementation issues specific to your project, etc. Use:

- **[StackOverflow tag](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/backpack-for-laravel) for help requests**. Use the `backpack-for-laravel` tag.
- **[Community Forum Issues](https://github.com/laravel-backpack/community-forum) for bugs**. Found a bug? Great! Please search for it on GitHub first - someone might have already found it. If not, open an issue, we're happy to make Backpack better.
- **[Community Forum Discussions](https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/community-forum/discussions) for showing off your work, asking for opinions on implementation, sharing tips, packages, etc.**
