Buying Licenses

When you sign up for a Scalefusion account, you get a 14-day free trial period to access the dashboard. After the trial period is over, your dashboard will disable most of the device-related features. To continue using these features after the free trial period, you have to purchase a license. A license is a 16-digit key that helps you organize your devices on your dashboard. There is no limit to the number of licenses you can purchase. To know more about our purchase plans, visit our Pricing page.

For buying a license, there are different pre-conditions for existing customers and new customers. They are explained in detail.

Before You Begin

1. Login to your dashboard.
2. New customers must have an active trial version of Scalefusion in your dashboard.

New customers

With the idea to move away from volume-based plans to value-based plans, the pricing plans for Scalefusion have been updated for new customers. The rules are as under:

1. The Trial will be available under the Enterprise plan by default.
2. While purchasing a plan, there are multiple checks on features. On the Purchase page, the users will be able to choose a plan depending upon the usage of features. Suppose during the course of the trial, they consume/use features that are part of a Business or Enterprise plan. After that, they go to the pricing page inside the dashboard and try buying the Starter plan. In this case, they get a wizard to remove extra features that they have used but are not supported under the lower plan.
