How Free and Pro Relate
Pro is a separate plugin that extends Free. Both must be active at the same time - Pro cannot run standalone.
Pro connects to Free only through documented public seams: evnm_* hooks, Eventonomy\Contracts\* interfaces, and the service container. Pro never imports Free's concrete classes. This means your own add-ons have exactly the same extension power that Pro has.
