Subscription based licensing

[BlakeRichardson]

Hi all

Trying to find out if there is any cost benefit to subscription licensing or is the benefit simply around the purchasing and renewal of the licenses?

If the customer is large enough to get an Enterprise Agreement (EA) then there are definite cost and payment term benefits for subscription licensing.  For the smaller customers (contracts less than $100k over the term), then I'm not sure...

From the math I've done the benefit is not really in pricing, but it does add license portability for switching within the various tiers.
