Overview
Access Server subscription licenses manage your VPN connections with the flexibility to change them up or down as you need. This page steps you through purchasing and activating a subscription license key on our site. We strive to support you with the benefits offered through our pricing model:
Subscription license keys support the Elastic Computing model of IaaS Cloud operations.
We retain our economical and meaningful charging model based on the needed number of simultaneous VPN connections.
While other business VPNs may charge based on the number of CPU cores or the bandwidth of the server, our model focuses on actual VPN connections consumed.
Subscriptions are cloud-friendly and streamlined, support automated renewals, and maximize your VPN usage.
