Subscriptions are prepaid pricing models. A subscription is valid for only one product instance. For a single product, you can create multiple subscriptions with different costs for different periods. There are two ways to create a subscription: with and without integration with the License Manager API or License Manager SaaS API.
| Without integration | With integration | |
|---|---|---|
| Additional settings | Not required | You need to set up integration with the License Manager API or License Manager SaaS API by yourself and update your app code to enable subscription status and type checks and implement relevant business logic. |
| Supported services | Compute Cloud | Compute Cloud, Managed Service for Kubernetes, SaaS; support for other services to be added later. |
| Pricing plan requirements | Combined plan PAYG + Subscription |
Subscription only |
| Subscription options | Only for a specified period, e.g., a month, a year. | In addition to periodic subscriptions, we offer custom subscriptions, e.g., for a number of users per month, etc. |

license-manager.user and license-manager.subscriptionAgent roles, otherwise the product will not work. |
The subscription starts as soon as it is purchased. If you change the subscription plan, the user will continue using their active subscription and will later purchase a new one based on the new plan. Subscription can be purchased by users with the license-manager.user role for a folder.
Note
Subscriptions cannot be combined with the PAYG plan, where the user pays for the application metrics set by the publisher.
