Section 2. Licensing in context of ST9985V vs the ST9985
F
irst, here is what is new and different from the ST9985:
The BOS, BOS V, Disaster Recovery and Disaster Recovery Extended Suites are all new to the ST9985V.
Here is what is different about licensing on the ST9985V:
All the ST9985V Software is licensed in new licensing bands. Here is how the licensing tiers/bands work:
Trial License
Media Kit (formerly Base Kit)
Base license (Base charge for Software)
1) 1-5TB Band
2) 6-10TB Band
3) 11-25TB Band
4) 26-50TB Band
5) 51-100TB Band
6) 101-500TB Band
7) 501-2000TB Band
Instead of ordering Software in Incremental tiers at 1TB increments up to 63TBs and 4TB increments up to
unlimited capacity, you now order ST9985V software within bands in increments of 1TB up to unlimited
capacity.
.
For example:
Customer wants 15TBs
Customer purchases the base license price plus the cost per TB within band 3 above (11TB-25TBs).
Upgrade example:
Customer wants to acquire an additional 15TBs
The next 15TBs places customer in band 4 pricing (26TB-50TB)
Customer acquires the next 15TB at the cost per TB within Band 4
This benefits the customer and gives them a price break when ordering more TB's up front. When ordering SW
for the ST9985 you paid more for the first TB tiers and as you moved through the tiers the price per TB
decreased. Now with these licensing bands your customer sees the price break per TB as they move up the
bands, so they save more money the higher the band they fall into.

Family such as the ST9990, ST9985, ST9980, ST9970, ST9960, ST9910 at this time.
