The two main licensing models for cloud LoadMasters are pay-per-use and Bring Your Own License (BYOL).

The Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model offers an alternative to the pay-per-use model. BYOL licenses are perpetual licenses which can include feature subscriptions. To use BYOL licensing, contact a Progress Kemp representative to purchase a license. Then apply the license to the LoadMaster.

The pay-per-use licensing model enables you to pay for individual LoadMasters you need, for as long as you need to use them. You only pay for the usage consumed, and once you stop using them there are no additional costs or fees. Like BYOL subscription licenses, pay-per-use LoadMaster instances offer many different options for bandwidth throughput and add-on services.

Pay-per-use cloud LoadMasters are “pre-licensed”. Therefore, the following commands are not valid for pay-per-use LoadMasters: Read-LicenseEULA, Confirm-LicenseEULA, Confirm-LicenseEULA2 and Request-LicenseOnline. These commands are valid for BYOL cloud LoadMasters.

When deploying a pay-per-use LoadMaster, you can use the Set-LicenseInitialPassword command to configure the administrator password. The LoadMaster is ready to use after that point.
