Per-TB licensing model
In this release, Veritas introduces the Per-TB licensing model. The license model is based on both capacity and time-period. You can use the license model for Access Appliance as per your requirement for the raw capacity.
You can use the Access Appliance software to manage the license model. The licensing model uses the Per-TB license meter. Veritas provides support of 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months for the licensing model.
The Per-TB license model supports the following licensing methods:
Perpetual license: You can procure a perpetual license to use the Access Appliance software for an unlimited period.
Subscription license: You can procure a subscription license to use the Access Appliance software for a specified period. After the subscription period is over, you need to renew the subscription license. The subscription period can be of 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and so on.
Two types of maintenance support are available based on pricing for the subscription license method:
Basic
Essential
Trialware license: You can download a trial version of the Access Appliance software from the Veritas website to evaluate it for 60 days.
If you exceed the licensed storage capacity, the product usage is not affected. However, Veritas recommends that you procure a new license or renew your license to a higher storage capacity.

However, Veritas recommends that you use the Per-TB licensing model instead of the Per-Core and TB-Per-Core licensing models.
For more information about the Per-Core and TB-Per-Core licensing models, see the following sections:
