Licensing Models	Description
Node-Locked

Licensing – This deprecated license model replaced by the

Licensing

Node-Locked Licensing is the traditional and most common method of licensing on SBC. All sessions and features are locked to a specific SBC node, identified through its hardware serial number or Virtual Machine Universal Unique Identifier (UUID).

Network-Wide Licensing – This is a

Domain Locked Licensing

model. Ribbon provided a network-wide licensing (NWL) option for customers who do not want licensing capacity to be defined on each node level. Instead, they purchased a total number of sessions and a feature set intended to meet the requirements of their entire network. Note that NWL used the same underlying node-locked licenses, but additional ‘burst’ licenses were installed to allow flexibility in capacity.

Domain

Locked Licensing – Domain-

Locked Licensing (DL) is offered to SBC SWe cloud and CNe deployments where SBC instances may be brought up and down dynamically based on traffic. In this model, a domain license is bound to the domain through public/private key-pairing, and it defines the features and capacity allowed for all nodes within the domain. When a new SBC node is brought up, it can leverage licenses from the domain pool.

True Forward Subscription

Licensing

– This licensing method relies upon the

Domain Locked

DL Licensing infrastructure for successful operation.

Domain Locked

DL Licensing supplies critical services for a successful subscription deployment, namely:

• Centralized

- For a defined term (1 year, 3 year, other) using a “Take anywhere” flexibility for on-premises and public cloud.
- Centralized subscription licensing management;

• Recognition

- Recognition of licensed product(s) feature(s) successful delivery;

• Accounting

- Accounting for licensed product(s) feature(s) successful delivery through supplementary quotes for events such as True Forward Growth.

Subscriptions-based license for a defined term (1 yr, 3 yr other), “Take anywhere” flexibility for on-premises and public cloud
• Licenses shared among nodes
