What Do I Get With A Software License?

Abstract

Scale your VPN needs according to your organizational requirements with a flexible subscription license for OpenVPN Access Server.

Question: What benefits do I receive with a software license for Access Server?

Answer:

A software license for Access Server grants you the ability to unlock a specific number of simultaneous VPN tunnel connections to your installation. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. VPN Tunnel Connections:

    • Licensed Mode: Once licensed, your Access Server can support more than two simultaneous VPN connections, depending on the number allowed by your specific license.

    • Unlicensed Mode: Without a license, Access Server operates in a demonstration mode, limiting you to only two simultaneous VPN connections.

  2. Support Access:

    • Professional Support: With a license, you can access our professional support services via the support ticket system. This ensures you can get assistance directly from our experts for any issues or queries related to your Access Server.

  3. Server Requirements:

    • Your Own Server: You are responsible for providing and managing the server where you install Access Server. This can be a physical server, a rented server, or a cloud-based virtual system, such as those available on Amazon AWS.

  4. Clarification on Services:

    • Not a VPN Service: It’s important to note that purchasing a license doesn't provide access to connect to servers hosted by openvpn.net. A license is for your own installation of Access Server on your server. This differs from our CloudConnexa product.
