Trial License¶
The trial license is valid for one month. Once the license expires, you will receive a critical alert and a reminder modal every day upon your first daily login.
Contact your reseller or Scality sales operations if you want to purchase a paid or PAYG license model.
Paid License¶
The paid license (or Enterprise Standard Subscription) is valid for a specified period and requires an activation key provided by Scality.
Once the license expires, refer to Renew License if you want to renew your subscription.
Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) License¶
The PAYG license is valid for a specified period and can be activated and renewed like a paid license model.
However, with this model, a consumption report is generated every month. Scality Cloud and Service Providers (SCSP) must download this report and provide it to Scality sales operations to determine the monthly fee to be paid.
If the report is not provided by the 5th of each month, a follow-up notification will be displayed.
You can download the report on your machine prior to sending it, or if you have an email client configured, you can send it directly from the ARTESCA UI.
Click Download monthly report and save it to your local machine.
Important
The report has a signature to validate the content’s integrity and must not be modified.
Send the report to Scality sales operations.
Click Send by email. An email is automatically pre-filled with the recipient and the report attached.

Do not modify the email’s content.
