Frequently Asked Questions - Licensing
How is EmpowerID licensed?
EmpowerID pricing is based on the number of users (people, not inventoried user accounts) per module. This includes all client software components and the right to run as many servers and CPUs as desired for the licensed modules. A one-time purchase grants clients the perpetual right to use the licensed modules. EmpowerID also offers subscription pricing when requested.
Is EmpowerID offered as a hosted cloud/subscription service?
No. However, EmpowerID has partners that offer hosted cloud/subscription services based on EmpowerID. EmpowerID plans a Cloud-based subscription service to be launched late 2019.
Do you charge for system/service accounts?
No. EmpowerID licensing is based on the count of EmpowerID Person objects. The provision rule that creates Person objects is configured by default to exclude service accounts.
Does EmpowerID offer volume discounts for larger purchases?
Yes, volume discounts are tiered as the number of user licenses increases.
Is there a license cost for deploying EmpowerID in test and QA environments?
No. Clients may run as many EmpowerID servers as necessary for providing high availability, test environments, and redundant servers for no additional charge.
What are the licensable EmpowerID modules?
Base Platform (RBAC/ABAC, Workflow, Audit), User Manager, Group Manager, File Share Manager, SharePoint Manager, SSO Manager, Password Manager, O365 Manager, Compliance Manager, Role Mining Manager, Shared Password Manager, Session Manager and Computer Manager.
