Licensing Models

The licensing for CERT+ is done using two models:
  • Certificate Instance Based Model
  • Certificate Count Based Model (introduced in v2023.1.0 FP3)
You can choose the certificate licensing model at the time of requesting for a license.

Certificate Instance Based Model

In this model, the certificate count is the number of connectors associated with a certificate.
Certificate count is derived using the following logic:
  • If a certificate has one non-sync and two certificate connectors, certificate count = two.
  • If a certificate has one Kube and two certificate connectors, certificate count = two.
  • If, for a certificate, only the Kube service exists and there are no cert connectors, the certificate will not be counted under the CERT+ license.
  • Expired and revoked certificates are included in the certificate count.
  • Certificates for which EKU = Server Authentication/Server and Client Authentication are categorized and counted under server certificates.

    Certificates for which EKU = any value other than the above two are categorized and counted under device certificates.

  • Trial licenses use the certificate instance based model.
The following is a screenshot of an existing CERT+ license page where:
  • Managed Certificate includes all Managed certificates (Server, Client, Code Signing and OTHERS)
  • Monitored Certificates include all Monitored certificates (Server, Client, Code Signing and OTHERS)
  • Managed Server Certificates Instances includes ONLY Managed Server Certificates

Certificate Count Based Model

(Introduced in v2023.1.0 FP3)
In this model, certificate count is the actual number of certificates in the inventory. Each certificate will be counted as one irrespective of any number of connectors associated with it. Additionally, in comparison with the certificate instance based model, the following changes have also been made:
  • Expired and revoked certificates can be moved from Managed to Monitored.
  • Once a certificate has been renewed, it can be moved from Managed to Monitored.
  • Certificates issues via auto-enrollment will be added in the inventory as Monitored.
  • Certificates issued via PKIaaS will be added in the inventory as Monitored, by default.
The following is a screenshot of an existing CERT+ license page, based on the new model, where:
  • Managed Certificate includes all Managed certificates (Server, Client, Code Signing and OTHERS)
  • Monitored Certificates include all Monitored certificates (Server, Client, Code Signing and OTHERS)
  • Managed Server Certificates Instances includes ONLY Managed Server Certificates
