Every vSEC definition
Every vSEC. CMS subscription has a maximum number of managed credentials (here called MNMC). A credential is considered managed, when registered with vSEC:CMS. When/if a credential is unregistered or deleted, it is no longer considered managed. One subscription is connected/restricted to one system. When the system is managing “live” active/real user credentials, it is considered a production system. A non-production system is defined as a secondary system, only available to customers subscribing to a primary/production system. A non-production vSEC:CMS system may not be used to manage credentials connected to active/real users, unless such users also have credentials managed by a primary production vSEC:CMS system. Examples of non-productions systems include test, pre-production, sandbox, validation and backup systems. Non-production system subscriptions are available under the non-production rebate program (see pricelist). A subscription is valid from a specific start date, to a specific end date. The period from the start date to the end date is the subscription term. The MNMC can be increased at any time during the term, this is called a subscription expansion. The end date of an expansion is determined as either the current end date, or the expansion start date+12 months, whichever is the largest of the two. Upon the end date of the subscription, the subscription can be renewed for another term, that is then called subscription renewal. A new end date is set for the subscription based on the renewed term. The opposite of expansion (increasing MNMC) is reduction (decreasing MNMC). Reduction is possible when renewing a term. NOTE: If a reduction results in an MNMC that is lower than the actual number of managed devices, the system is not operational, until an expansion is performed. A PoC (Proof of Concept) is a short-term subscription, for a smaller amount MNMC. The PoC subscription is typically provided at a rebated price (see pricelist).
