Our licensing model is very simple:
- In case of a perpetual license you can use the licensed software indefinitely. Annual support included in the price for the first year and it includes technical support and minor / major versions released during that period.
- SaaS based licensing is supported with time limited license keys. It allows you to use the software for one year, and entitles you to download all updates to the software and to receive technical support. After the one year period ends, the software will no longer function unless a new license is purchased.
- In PVSR every monitored “entity” has a License Point value, which is calculated according to its type. The sum number of License Points shall be purchased to cover the monitored environment.
- Monitoring capabilities are available in packs that cost 100 LP of each. Of course these License Points can be used for monitoring also.
