Choose the License Model That Fits Your Needs
TR7 offers flexible licensing options designed for both Enterprise and Service Provider environments. Whether you prefer perpetual ownership, fixed-term commitments, or pay-as-you-go flexibility, our licensing models adapt to your business requirements.
This comprehensive guide will help you understand all licensing options, TR7's unique bandwidth advantages, clustering capabilities, and available software bundles so you can make an informed decision.
For organizations using TR7 for their own infrastructure and applications
Physical appliances with perpetual or fixed-term licensing options
One-time purchase with unlimited usage rights. Ideal for long-term deployments requiring capital expenditure (CapEx) model.
One-time purchase with unlimited usage rights. Optimized for virtual deployment, ideal for long-term virtual appliance deployments that require a capital expenditure (CapEx) model.
Cloud and virtualized deployments with perpetual, fixed-term or PAYG licensing options
One-time purchase with permanent usage rights for virtual deployments. Own your virtual ADC outright with predictable CapEx model and operational flexibility.
Flexible fixed-term model for virtual deployments. Term options from 3 months to 5 years, predictable capacity needs, and Active Operations included.
Hourly billing for the capacity you choose. Select your bandwidth, bundle, and vService limit upfront, then pay only for the hours you use. Perfect for dev/test, POC, or flexible deployments.
For companies offering TR7-based services to multiple customers with multi-tenancy support
Committed capacity from 1 month to 5 years per customer service. Unlimited usage throughout the term with no hourly tracking—predictable costs for your customers.
Use first, pay at month-end. Each customer selects their bandwidth, bundle, and vService limit upfront, then pays only for hours used that month. Maximum flexibility for on-demand services.
A vService (Virtual Service) represents a single application or service configuration within TR7. Each vService can have its own VIP (Virtual IP), SSL certificates, load balancing algorithms, health checks, and security policies. Think of vServices as individual application endpoints managed by your TR7 appliance.
Entry-level option for single application deployments
Small deployments with multiple applications
Medium-sized deployments with diverse workloads
No restrictions for large-scale and physical deployments
Choose between virtual and physical deployment options
Software-based deployments for VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, and cloud platforms. Flexible, scalable, and cost-effective.

Three separately licensed modes — priced for adoption, not exclusion
Maximum Capacity Utilization
Both appliances actively serve traffic with full load distribution. Different vServices can be active on different nodes simultaneously, utilizing the combined capacity of all cluster members.
Cost-Effective High Availability
User-defined scenarios determine which appliance serves all vServices while the other remains on standby. TR7 offers special pricing advantages for this deployment mode.
Simple & Affordable
Single appliance deployment perfect for development, testing, or non-critical workloads. Unlike competitors who charge nearly the same price for cluster licenses, TR7's standalone pricing is significantly lower.
Comprehensive bandwidth options from 50 Mbps to 800 Gbps
50 Mbps - 100 Gbps
Unprecedented flexibility for software-based deployments with the industry's widest virtual capacity range.
5 Gbps - 800 Gbps
Purpose-built hardware delivering wire-speed performance for the most demanding enterprise workloads.
Ensure fair resource distribution and optimal performance
Service Provider deployments automatically distribute licensed bandwidth fairly among all customers using intelligent QoS policies. Each tenant receives equitable resources with guaranteed minimum bandwidth allocation.
Define bandwidth limits for individual applications with automatic QoS enforcement. When limits are reached, traffic is distributed fairly among all users, maintaining consistent application performance.
Licensed bandwidth is automatically shared fairly among all vServices and users. Even during peak times, every application receives guaranteed minimum resources, ensuring no service negatively impacts others.
Increase bandwidth capacity on-demand with pro-rated pricing. No hardware changes or service interruption required.
Deploy different bandwidth capacities across environments—high capacity for production, lower tiers for dev/test.
Virtual appliances can be deployed and licensed in minutes. Physical appliances ship pre-configured for rapid deployment.

Comprehensive renewal flexibility and investment protection
TR7 offers the most flexible and customer-friendly license renewal options in the industry. Unlike competitors, TR7 protects your investment without artificial limitations or forced upgrades.
When you purchase a TR7 Perpetual license, you own it forever. There are no hidden CPU limits, no forced hardware lock-ins, and no artificial software version ceilings. Your license works as long as you need it.
Unlike the comprehensive ADC vendor that locks perpetual licenses to specific hardware and caps the maximum software version you can upgrade to—forcing customers to repurchase licenses—TR7 perpetual means perpetual.
Fixed-Term licenses can be renewed seamlessly under the same terms, upgraded to higher capacity, or converted to perpetual. You are never locked into a model that no longer fits your needs.
A major global ADC manufacturer offers only fixed-term licenses for virtual appliances with no renewal option—you must repurchase the entire license each term. TR7 lets you simply renew and continue.
Upgrade from PAYG to Fixed-Term, from Fixed-Term to Perpetual, or scale your capacity — your existing investment is credited. No penalty fees, no lost value.
Most competitors treat each license as a separate purchase with no migration path. TR7's flexible architecture protects your investment at every step.
TR7 never artificially restricts your hardware capabilities. Whether perpetual or fixed-term, you get full access to your appliance's CPU and RAM capacity. No throttling, no artificial cap.
The comprehensive ADC vendor is known for setting CPU core limits on virtual perpetual licenses and capping upgrade paths—even with active maintenance contracts. TR7 believes you should use what you paid for.
