Kyvos supports credit-based and non-credit-based licensing models. Kyvos monitors the Master Service and the Query Service computation layers to determine usage/credit consumption.

Your plan is one of the following deployment types:

  • On-premise (non-credit based) 

  • In your cloud account (credit or non-credit based) 

  • Managed Services (credit-based) 

Note

  • The Kyvos 2022.3.1 release supports credit-based licensing only for AWS.

  • The license dates must be valid to use Kyvos servers and resources. 

  • For details on your specific plan or rates, refer to your license contract or contact your Kyvos representative. 

  • When Kyvos credits are exhausted, contact Kyvos Support to update the license and add more credits. 

  • In the case of Kyvos credits recharge,

    • If your license contract has a provision for carrying forward the remaining credits, a new license is created with a total value of Kyvos credits as a sum of the remaining credits and recharge value. 

    • If your license contract does not have a provision for carrying forward the remaining credits, a new license is created with a total value of Kyvos credits as a sum of the recharge value. 

Types of Kyvos licenses 

There are two types of licenses that you can purchase as per your deployment requirements:

Grace period 

Based on your deployment requirements and license contract with Kyvos, a grace period is provided. In a grace period, all Kyvos services are available even if your credits are exhausted. Once this grace period is completed, all Kyvos services are automatically shut down. 

  • The grace period is applicable only for credit-based licensing. 

  • The grace period and the license expiry date are decided as per your license contract with Kyvos. 

  • When your Kyvos credits are exhausted, the Kyvos cluster runs in the grace period. You get the following notification on Kyvos. 

  • To avail of Kyvos services, you must contact Kyvos Support to update your license and increase the usage limits. 

How the Kyvos credits licensing work 

To use the Kyvos Credits license, 

  • A shared Credits Database must be created and configured during the first (primary) cluster deployment. This database manages credit consumption transactions for multiple cluster deployments. 

  • In case of multi-cluster deployment (secondary or tertiary), you must do the following: 

  • If Kyvos credits are exhausted or your validity period is completed, the Kyvos cluster runs in the available grace period.

  • If your Kyvos credits are exhausted, the build jobs run in the grace period. If this period elapses while a build job is running, Kyvos will complete the job and then stop the cluster .
