License consumption on CloudRanger
The number of AWS resources managed via CloudRanger on which an activity has been performed are counted towards the licenses per month.
[A month is determined based on the subscription start date plus 30 days.]
In other words, the total number of unique resources with any activity on the console or via APIs are counted towards the license count for that month.
📝 Notes
Resource refers to a unique AWS EC2 instance, EBS volume, VPC, database, DynamoDB table, Redshift cluster, or a DR instance, managed on CloudRanger, within a 30-day period. Snapshots do not count towards the resource count.
Managerefers to any action performed on that resource via CloudRanger, such as backup, restore, clone, delete, stop, or start.
How licenses are calculated
The point-in-time license consumption is calculated as described in the following table:
Resource type | Considerations | License consumption |
EC2 Instance | ||
EC2 instance with EBS volume | EC2 part of backup policies | 1 license for EC2 instance. |
EC2 instance with EBS volume | Manual backup of EC2 instance | 1 license for EC2 instance. |
EBS + EC2 Instance | EBS volume and EC2 instance part of different Backup Policies ( not part of same policy) | 2 licenses: |
EBS + EC2 Instance | EBS volume part of a Backup Policy | 2 licenses: |
EBS Volume | ||
EBS part of backup policies | 1 license for EBS volume | |
Manual backup of EBS volumes | 1 license for EBS volume | |
RDS instance | 1 license for each RDS instance. | |
DynamoDB Tables | 1 license for each DynamoDB Table | |
Redshift Clusters | 1 license for each Redshift Cluster |
