Common SPLA Programmes

SPLA Options

A SAL is required for each unique individual who is authorised to use the software in any given month.

Benefits include:

  • Subscribers can access any number of servers from any number of devices
  • Service providers can “scale out” by deploying as many servers as they need
  • Service providers have minimal start-up costs since they only pay based upon the number of subscribers each month.

When licensing via the CPU licenses, an unlimited number of end users can use the software running on a single CPU for each CPU license acquired.

Benefits include:

  • CPU licenses are easier to monitor and count, which lowers administrative costs.
  • CPU licenses replace Internet Connector licenses, eliminating the need to distinguish between Internet, intranet, and extranet users.
  • CPU licenses are economical across a variety of business scenarios where the utilisation of the software may vary.

For products that can be licensed in either Per Processor/CPU or Per User/Subscriber mode, the service provider can switch licensing mode from one month to another.
