"Activiti Enterprise" requires paid license for use on Production - right?

1) No, Activiti has a web modeler too

2) This is indeed part of the enterprise product (the 'step editor'). However … one can build this on top of Activiti … but it would require quite some time.

Hi jbarrez,

1) Can you send me more details around web modeler in Actiti please?

1) There is an open source version in the V6 download. You can try it out at https://activiti.alfresco.com/.
For commercial bits, contact Alfresco.

2) Not to my knowledge. Not in the UI sense, at least. There is some prototyping in the activiti-simple-workflow module … but it's basic and only backend.
