Lucent Sky AVM licensing overview

2021/4/9 |

This article describes how Lucent Sky AVM is licensed.

Description of the Lucent Sky AVM license

Lucent Sky AVM is licensed with both User Client Access License (User CAL) and Core License. Client Access License determines the number of users can access a Lucent Sky AVM instance or cluster, while Core License determines the number of concurrent scans can be running on a Lucent Sky AVM instance.

User CAL

A User CAL is required for every user who accesses a Lucent Sky AVM instance or cluster. One User CAL is required for every user, regardless of the number of devices they use for that access.

As users are configured at cluster-level, instances in the same cluster must have the same number of User CALs.

Core License

Core License determines the number of concurrent scans can be running on a Lucent Sky AVM instance. A scan utilizes one Core License when it is in the checking, preparing, building, or analyzing stage. Activities on a completed scan, such as generating report or remediated source code, do not utilize Core Licenses.

The number of Core Licenses required on a Lucent Sky AVM instance is not determined by the number of processors on the instance.
