DataSpider International License Policy
Please see here for DataSpider International 's license policy.
License Unit
- (1) Main License
- A "Server 1 CPU License" is required for each physical CPU. If you are using a machine with multiple CPUs, please apply an "Additional Server 1 CPU License" for the second CPU and beyond.
- (2) Development client, optional product (adapter)
- The "Server 1 CPU License" includes a development client (for 5 simultaneous connections). However, the "Server Additional 1 CPU License" does not include a development client.
- For optional product (adapters), one license must be purchased for each optional product (node) used, regardless of the number of CPUs.
| Number of CPUs | Required main license (Server 1 CPU) |
Required number of additional CPUs per server | Included development client |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 5 |
| 2 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
| 4 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
Use in a redundant environment
If you want to use a spare machine for a machine on which DataSpider is installed and DataSpider is running, you will need a "hot backup license."
In principle, the hot backup license requires the same number of adapters as the production machine. (The adapter price is the same as the production machine.)
Regarding CPU licenses, you will need the number of licenses according to the number of CPUs in the spare machine chassis, not the chassis of the production machine.
If the DataSpider server is not running and is on standby, it is considered cold standby and no license is required.
- (1)HA cluster configuration
- A "hot backup license" is required to use the standby DataSpider while it is running.
However, if the standby DataSpider is not running, no charges will be incurred.
- A "hot backup license" is required to use the standby DataSpider while it is running.
- (2)FT (Fault Tolerant) server configuration
- A license is not required for the standby system of the FT (Fault Tolerant) server.
Use in a virtualized environment
Charges are based on the number of cores allocated to the guest OS. Up to four cores are considered one license, and for the fifth core and beyond, a "Server Additional Core License" (in units of two cores) must be applied. optional product (adapters) are charged for each guest OS.
If you use features such as live migration (※) for the purpose of redundant configuration, the number of licenses will be 1.
- This refers to the ability to move the OS to another server or switch hardware.
Use in a cloud environment
Even in a cloud environment, charges are based on the number of cores. The licensing concept conforms to "Use in a virtualized environment."
However, if the number of cores is unclear, charges will be based on the number of vCPUs.
Use when systems are running in parallel
When replacing a server and temporarily running parallel systems, the following policy applies:
In addition, parallel operation of our products refers to the state in which the product is installed in an environment different from the operating environment, regardless of the operating status of the product.
- (1)Free period
- There is no additional charge for parallel operation for up to three months.
Please install your license on a different server.
- There is no additional charge for parallel operation for up to three months.
- (2)Parallel operation beyond the free period
- If you plan to continue using the service for more than three months, please purchase a "Monthly License & Support" or additional license.
If you purchase a "Monthly License & Support," please purchase a license for the period minus the free period (3 months).
- If you plan to continue using the service for more than three months, please purchase a "Monthly License & Support" or additional license.
