Trend Vision One credit-based licensing is an innovative pricing model that provides you with a more flexible way to manage multiple solutions through Trend Vision One.
Credit-based licensing gives you the freedom to deploy Trend Micro services without
the hassle
of individual licenses. You can reallocate resources at any time, enabling you to
respond
dynamically to changing demands. Start using credits in four simple steps.
Step 1: Estimate your credit requirement
Step 2: Purchase credits
Contact your sales representative to purchase a subscription license for Trend Vision One credits. You can also purchase Trend Vision One credits from any affiliated marketplace, such as the Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure marketplaces.
 |
TipIf you purchase more credits than initially necessary, any extra credits can be used
to try
out new Trend Micro solutions or respond to unexpected demands.
|
Step 3: Allocate credits to supported apps and services in Trend Vision One
 |
ImportantBecause Trend Vision One credits are a type of subscription license, all your purchased credits are valid
and accessible until their expiration date. In other words, you do not "spend" credits,
you only allocate them. You can allocate your credits to Trend Vision One features for the duration of the license term.
When you allocate credits to or enable supported apps or services in Trend Vision One, credits are deducted from your available credit balance. Different Trend Vision One features use different credit allocation models.

Step 4: Monitor credit usage

your credit usage.

NoteAllow some time for the credit data synchronization to complete and the latest credit
allocation information to display in the Credits & Billing app
every time you configure or update credit settings.
