Licensing modes

AVEVA Enterprise Licensing is available in two modes:

• Perpetual mode: In this mode, you purchase a particular product in perpetuity

• Flex mode (subscription-based): In this mode, you subscribe to a range of AVEVA products on a recurring basis.

  As a Flex customer, you are required to purchase Flex credits. These credits are used to consume licenses for any of AVEVA’s cloud, hybrid, or on-premise products for a definite period. The credits are consumed according to the rate plan of the software you use. 

  The AVEVA Enterprise License Manager and License Server manage perpetual licenses. Flex licenses are managed on the AVEVA Flex portal. For more information on Flex, see AVEVA Flex | Flexible Industrial Software Subscription | AVEVA.
