Do I need to bring a license for the devices I deploy in your facilities?

All devices require a license.
We offer two licensing options: Bring Your Own License (BYOL) or Subscription. All components of the Network Edge platform that are purchased through a subscription are billed in monthly increments, and one month is the minimum commit for a customer.
Note: Not every vendor and image supports both license types.
Because all devices are fully enabled, branded vendor images, all customers must have a license to operate any deployed device. BYOL allows users to use an existing license or purchase one directly from the vendor. We also offer an ongoing subscription on some vendors and devices. This option allows an immediate start to creating devices without consulting with the vendor first.
