TB-Per-Core licensing model
The TB-Per-Core licensing model is based on both capacity per-core and time period. You can license Veritas Access as per your requirement for the raw capacity. You can use the Veritas Access software to manage the license model. Veritas provides support of 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months for the licensing model.
Note:
The TB-Per-Core licensing model is supported in this release only if you upgrade an earlier version of Veritas Access that uses this license model to Veritas Access 7.4.2.400. However, Veritas recommends that you use the Per-TB licensing model.
For more information on the Per-TB licensing model:
When you exceed the licensed storage capacity, the product usage is not affected. However, Veritas recommends that in such cases, you must procure or renew your license to a higher capacity.
Veritas recommends the tier that is best suited for your needs based on your current system configuration across the clusters. The new metering and recommended tier is based on the capacity utilization to the core ratio. Capacity utilization is the raw capacity that is used while the core refers to the physical cores present across the cluster. This information is also available in the Veritas Access Management Console in the Recommended Tier.
Table: Licensing methods
Tiering model | TB-Per-Core meter capacity | Capacity tier range | Time-based licensing |
|---|---|---|---|
Premium | TB to core ratio <= 4 TB/core |
2001 TB - Unlimited | Subscription - 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years Perpetual - Unlimited for a product version Trialware- 60 days |
Standard | TB to core ratio Between 4 TB/core and 25 TB/core | 2001 TB - Unlimited | Subscription - 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years Perpetual - Unlimited for a product version |
Basic | TB to core ratio > 25 TB/core | 2001 TB - Unlimited | Subscription - 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years Perpetual - Unlimited for a product version |
The trialware has the premium tier licensing model with a storage capacity range of 2001 TB - Unlimited. You can upgrade to any valid Per-Core license from the trialware.
