Being a managed package designed to work on the Salesforce platform, CalendarAnything LWC requires a Salesforce license. The best license to purchase depends upon the data objects your CalendarAnything LWC organization must access.

Benefits of Lightning Platform Starter license

  • Unlimited access to custom objects
  • Access to applications and platform functionality
  • Supports Apex and APIs, and thus supports managed packages that depend on Apex

  • Does not include access to standard Salesforce objects like Leads, Opportunities, Cases, and Campaigns. This may cause improper functioning of the managed package.
  • Salesforce Events and Tasks are not typically supported.
  • Some AppExchange applications are designed specifically for Sales or Service Cloud users, so they may not be fully compatible with Lightning Platform Starter.
