First stand up a multi-tenant TR7 platform; then deliver capacity to your customers with Fixed-Term or PAYG service licenses.
Service Provider licensing is designed for data centers, MSPs, MSSPs, ISPs, hosting providers, and cloud providers that deliver TR7 as a managed service to their own customers. The model has two layers: the Platform License establishes the shared TR7 infrastructure; the customer service licenses define the capacity and service scope offered to each downstream customer.
The Platform License establishes multi-tenancy, the operational foundation, and the service provider management surface. The Fixed-Term Service License fits committed, predictable customer services. The PAYG Service License offers a no-commitment, monthly, flexible usage model for customers.
Different customer models can coexist on the same platform. Use Fixed-Term for corporate customers and the PAYG service model for trials or variable workloads.
Stand up the platform once. License customer services separately.
In the Service Provider line, the TR7 platform is the shared infrastructure layer; customer service licenses define the capacity and commercial scope you sell to downstream customers. White-label usage, per-customer separation, and the service provider operating model are natural parts of this line.
First explore the Platform License for the multi-tenant foundation; then pick a Fixed-Term or PAYG Service model based on how your customers will consume capacity.
Multi-tenant foundation · Service provider operating layer
The base license for your Service Provider TR7 deployment. Covers the multi-tenant platform hosting downstream customers, the management surface, and the operational service infrastructure. Virtual platforms may not require a separate upfront platform fee; on physical deployments, appliance and platform scope are defined by contract.
Committed customers · Fixed period · Predictable revenue
Lets you deliver per-customer services within a defined period and selected capacity scope. Best fit for service providers that want corporate customers, long-term contracts, guaranteed capacity, and a more predictable revenue model.
Fast activation · Monthly usage · No-commitment customer model
Used to deliver no-commitment, flexible service to customers. Fits trial deployments, short-term needs, startup customers, variable traffic, and workloads with frequently changing capacity. Available on virtual platforms or on suitable physical Base platforms.
This model is designed for the economics of resale and managed services — it is not just a multi-tenant rename of the Enterprise license.
The Platform License forms the shared infrastructure base; customer service licenses define the capacity and commercial scope sold to each downstream customer. Infrastructure investment and per-customer revenue model are managed in the same structure but as separate layers.
Tenant separation, per-customer scope, service packages, capacity, and billing surface are natural parts of the service provider model. The customer does not consume the TR7 product directly; they consume the managed service you deliver under your own brand.
On the same Platform License, some customers can run on Fixed-Term while others run on PAYG. As a customer's consumption pattern matures, you can change their service model without re-deploying the platform.
First define the multi-tenant foundation with the Platform License, then shape your revenue model with Fixed-Term and PAYG customer service licenses. The Service Provider Configurator turns platform capacity, customer mix, and service packages into a concrete proposal.
Platform License scope, customer service license terms, white-label coverage, margin structure, and configurator outputs may vary by region, deployment model, customer mix, and contract scope. For accurate, deployment-specific coverage, refer to the relevant model pages, the Licensing Guide, and the Service Provider Configurator.
