      Hey guys,

      Got a licensing question.
      Want to ensure we understand the terminology and intent correctly.

      When looking at the Vates website pricing, and essential license clearly states "maximum 3 hosts"
      Then under Core Features it says Maximum hosts per pool "3 hosts"

      This is causing a bit of client confusion as to what the Max is referencing.

      Does this mean that a XOA appliance can have multiple pools, and the Essentials license is limiting it to 3 hosts per pool, and not the hosts under management?

      So, a client could purchase Qty:1 of the Essentials license, and Qty:1 Pro and have 2 pools managed by the same XOA?

      Or does the 3 hosts max mean there can only be 3 hosts under management by the XOA when using the essentials license regardless of pool count?

      For reference:
      The scenario is if a client has 3-hosts at the datacenter, and 1 host offsite (DR), so 4 hosts' total. Are they able to purchase an Essentials license to cover the data center, and a Pro license to cover the DR system and manage them all from the same XOA?

      Or would they have to purchase Qty:4 of the pro license to be in compliance.

      Thanks!

        Hi,

        It's Essential (or Essential Plus) per customer. You can't mix both. However, you can mix Enterprise and Pro (eg 3 hosts on Enterprise, and 1 in pro, if you have more critical hosts than others).

        In all cases: more than 3 servers == cannot use Essential. It's really meant for very small deployments. Still, you can ask our sales via our contact form for more details and more tailored advice 🙂

          Thanks Olivier!

          That is what we assumed, but with how the 3 hosts per pool was in there under the essentials licenses it was up for debate 🙂
