The Wordbee’s licensing model

edit

Wordbee Translator is a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution and proposes Fixed, Concurrent/Floating and Pay-per-use licenses or combination thereof.

Fixed Licenses: In this model, the client subscribes to a set of licenses used by a fixed number of users.

Concurrent Licenses: With the concurrent license model, also commonly known as a floating license model, a pool of licenses are shared among all users. The number of concurrent licenses defines how many users can work concurrently at any given time: When a user starts working with Wordbee Translator, a license from the pool will be assigned to the user and made unavailable to others till this user logs-out. Whereas the Fixed License Model requires manually re-assigning access rights, the Concurrent License Model does this automatically based on user activity.

Pay-per-use: The Pay-per-use model is an option to Concurrent License model. Whenever, the number of licenses is not sufficient at a specific moment, the system allocates pay-per-use licenses to the users in excess. Pay-per-use access is dynamically and automatically assigned to these users and is valid during 24 hours.
