Flexible licensing, fair bandwidth measurement, and transparent bundles — making the cost of enterprise security predictable.
On traditional ADC and security platforms, cost can grow unexpectedly through per-module licensing, clustering premiums, and ambiguous capacity metrics. TR7's licensing model is designed to make the product scope and capacity an organization needs more predictable.
Clean pricing; predictable TCO.
TR7's commercial models — Perpetual, Fixed-Term, PAYG, and Service Provider Platform — are designed to fit different budget approaches. Bundles and transition paths aim to protect the existing investment when capacity needs change.
Cost surprises often come from per-module fees, aggressive bandwidth counting, and clustering premiums. TR7 offers these items in a clean model.
TR7 measures bandwidth based on the user-side total traffic of a vService: requests coming in from the user (RX) and responses going back to the user (TX). Backend traffic, in-appliance management traffic, and attacks blocked by DDoS/WAAP/firewall are not counted toward the license.
This approach is identical to the one used on the Licensing Guide → Bandwidth page.
Items that work as they appear on TR7's price tag.
The capabilities below are offered as standard, without requiring a separate module license or additional purchase. For detailed licensing context, see the Licensing Guide.
The Application Access Manager (AAM) and core DDoS protection capabilities are integrated in the Base Bundle. Extended L4/L7 DDoS capacity, advanced reporting, and specialized protection layers can be licensed as add-ons when needed.
Base Bundle componentsActive-Passive is priced especially competitively for high availability; Active-Active also runs lower than industry norms.
Clustering detailsTR7 measures bandwidth based on the user-side total traffic of a vService: requests coming in from the user and responses going back to the user. Backend traffic, in-appliance management traffic, and blocked attacks are not counted toward the license.
Bandwidth approachA Perpetual license is a one-time purchase; ActiveOps is included in Year 1 and optional afterward. No automatic annual renewal or inflation-based increase is applied.
Perpetual license advantagesVirtual licenses do not apply artificial CPU or RAM limits. You can use all the resources of the VM; scale is determined by your infrastructure resources.
Virtual licensingA 30-day grace period applies at the end of a Fixed-Term license; traffic continues to flow, certificates and configuration are preserved, and you gain time to renew.
Fixed-Term licenseOn PAYG → Fixed-Term and Fixed-Term → Perpetual transitions, the existing investment is valued and carried into the new license. No penalty or loss of value is produced.
License renewalThe organization picks the commercial approach that best fits its budget model.
TR7's commercial models are designed to fit different scenarios — from CapEx-driven long-term deployments to pay-as-you-go flexibility and a multi-tenant service-provider model. You can determine the right model in a few minutes with the Licensing Wizard.
One-time CapEx investment; indefinite usage rights. Lowest TCO for 5+ year deployments. ActiveOps included in Year 1; optional in subsequent years.
A contract period from 3 months to 5 years for virtual deployments and 1–5 years for hardware. ActiveOps included for the duration of the term. Lower upfront cost and predictable OpEx.
Hourly metering, month-end billing. Zero commitment — a fit for PoC, dev/test, and variable workloads.
Platform License is free on virtual appliances. Per-customer Fixed-Term or PAYG service licenses are added on top. Multi-tenant isolation.
Pre-configured bundles deliver clear savings compared to buying individual products: Enterprise (ADC + WAAP + AAM + GTM + ETM + CM), Secure (ADC + WAAP + AAM + ETM), Geo (ADC + GTM + CM), Base (ADC + AAM + ETM). You can select a bundle or license individual products as needed. See the bundle comparison page for details.
A per-customer independent billing architecture that fits datacenter and MSSP models.
TR7's Service Provider model lets organizations that deliver managed security services set up the infrastructure once and license per customer. For the detailed structure, see the SP licensing page.
There is no separate upfront platform fee for the Platform License on virtual appliances. The revenue model is built on per-customer Fixed-Term or PAYG service licenses.
Prices applied to customers are set solely by the service provider; TR7 does not see or affect those prices.
Different commercial models can be offered to different customers on the same platform — a fit for flexible customer bases.
Each customer runs in its own isolated tenant; policy, certificates, and reporting are managed independently.
The hardest part of an enterprise security budget is the surprises. TR7's commercial model is designed to make each line item — including bandwidth, clustering, bundles, and transitions — predictable.
Let's design your deployment with the enterprise configurator and plan the commercial model together. A separate configurator is available for the service-provider model.
Capability scope, performance figures, license models, and support tiers described on this page may vary depending on the deployment, license package, hardware model, and selected support program. For detailed scope, please review the relevant product, license, and support pages.
