Self-hosting Bitwarden is free, however some features must be unlocked in your self-hosted instance with a registered license file. A license file can be obtained from the Bitwarden-hosted [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"} by either an account with a Premium Individual subscription or by the Owner of a Families or Enterprise Organization.
