Can I Buy Less Than 10 Connections?

Abstract

This FAQ explains how to purchase less than ten connections for an Access Server license.

Question: Is less than ten connections on a license key possible?

Answer:

Yes, it is possible to have fewer than ten connections on a license key.

BYOL licensing system

  • Minimum Connections: A license key must contain five connections for the "Bring Your Own License" (BYOL) system. A subscription with two connections, equivalent to an unlicensed Access Server, is free. While you can purchase higher numbers of VPN connections, the minimum remains five.

  • Subscription License: The software subscription license model allows you to activate a single subscription on multiple Access Servers, meaning they can share the same subscription.

AWS licenses

  • 5 Connections Option: You can use the AWS tiered instances licensing system on Amazon AWS. One of the instances offered on the AWS Marketplace includes a license for five connections. This instance comes with a 7-day free trial, allowing you to try the product before incurring software licensing costs. However, please note that running an AWS instance does incur costs from Amazon AWS.
