Understand License Units​

Device42 has a Core license for discovery and offers additional license modules for more discovery and data retrieval capabilities.

The Core license includes discovery of physical, virtual, and cloud components, IT inventory and asset management, all out-of-the-box integrations, RESTful APIs and webhooks, warranty and SSL certificate management, cable management, password management, and IP address management.

Device42 licensing is based on license units. Units are consumed at different rates depending on the type of discovered resource:

  • 1 Device = 1 License Unit (1 : 1)
  • 10 Containers = 1 License Unit (10 : 1)
  • 1 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) = 1 License Unit (1 : 1)
  • 10 Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) = 1 License Unit (10 : 1)
  • 100 Archived Records = 1 License Unit (100 : 1)
  • 50 TB Storage = 1 Storage Unit (50 TB : 1)
note

Storage license units are purchased separately from device units.

The lower portion of the Tools > Settings > Licensing page displays the number of purchased licenses and the number of license units consumed by the different discovered components.
