Managing Licenses

Additional Information

Due to the change in pricing and the introduction of a consumption-based billing model, there are a few restrictions to be aware of:

• With the new listings going live, the old listings will be changed to the limited status, which restricts the availability to only the existing subscribers of those plans.
• Accounts level restrictions:
  • Accounts created for the new license types do not support old license types or mixed licenses in the same account.
  • Marketplace subscribers of the old listings cannot buy applications with the new license plans with the same account.
  • Non-Marketplace customers cannot use their accounts to add applications with the new license plans.
  • Accounts subscribed to a specific license plan cannot add applications with a different plan (Advanced + Premium is not supported).
• Free trial is currently not supported with this subscription.
