Licensing Model

Venafi TrustAuthority & TrustForce for SSL are licensed on a per certificate instance basis (“Certificate Instances”).  A Server (SSL) Certificate is defined as a digital certificate used to identify a server that is typically issued to hostnames (i.e. a machine name or domain name).  For example, one (1) certificate (or associated private key) protected by TrustAuthority on ten (10) servers counts as 10 Certificate Instances; and Ten (10) certificates (or associated private keys) protected by TrustAuthority on one server counts as 10 Certificate Instances.

Venafi TrustAuthority for Mobile is licensed on a per User basis.  A mobile certificate (user or device) is defined as a digital certificate that provides information about the user and/or the user's device and is used to identify that individual or device for a variety of purposes such as web authentication, WiFi authentication, VPN authentication, email encryption and message signing, and device authentication, across different mobile and personal platforms – including but not limited to laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets.

Venafi TrustAuthority & TrustForce for SSH are licensed on a per Host basis.  A Host is defined as a device (client, server, or appliance, or virtual instance), running its own operating system with its own unique IP address.  For example, a server or a cloud deployment running three (3) virtual machines counts as three (3) hosts.
