Why a Licensing Model?
Because you need flexibility and choice to align with your business needs.
Flexible licensing options
- Subscription licenses for organizations who
may prefer to consume in an OpEx model - Perpetual licenses for organizations where
this matches financial preferences
Repackaged support
- Hardware replacement separated from support
- TAC access and software support bundled
Pivoting to Subscription Licensing delivers additional benefits:
- Accounting and budgeting flexibility
- Pay as you grow
- Flexible renewals and upgrades
- Decoupled hardware and software refresh cycles
- More attention to your needs and success
- Smoother financial planning
