Looking into Wix v4 and v5, coming from v3, their official tutorials in FireGiant's site use HeatWave Community Edition. I need to create an installer of a software from the company I work in.
I don't really understand if the Professional or Enterprise licenses need to be paid, either to work with or create the installers using HeatWave Community Edition.
The closest I got was that the HeatWave Build Tools require a license file to be available on developer and build machines. We can get this license file from our FireGiant Account License page. Source.

From the HeatWave documentation:
HeatWave is FireGiant's Visual Studio extension for WiX v4, v5, and later. HeatWave Community Edition is available free of charge and provides:
- Conversion of WiX v3 projects and authoring
- Building of WiX SDK-style projects
- Project references and WiX extension package references
- Project and item templates
- Property pages to control how the project builds
(emphasis mine)
If a license is required to use a feature of HeatWave, you'll be prompted for it.
