How licensing works
1
Select software to use in cyber range platforms
Choose from dozens of network infrastructure, security, and IT solutions. Customize each selection – product features, deployment type, and quantity.
2
Files and software account credentials automatically appear in your Vaults
Access virtual appliances, container images, config management scripts, and SaaS-based software account credentials conveniently organized and stored in Vaults.
3
View and manage all of your licenses in one place
Turn consumption-based licenses on or off, increase or decrease the number of active licenses, extend term-based agreements, and add new software to your existing account at any time.
4
Consumption and term-based Licensing costs are billed monthly
No need to pay multiple resellers or technology vendors, request quotes, or re-negotiate contracts. We pass our partner pricing on to you and bill your card or deduct from your balance on a monthly basis.
