AppDynamics Flex offers an accelerated migration path for customers to move from on-premises to a SaaS experience. The licenses provisioned for Flex address on-premise monitoring requirements today, as well as SaaS monitoring needs when business conditions permit.
Flex Entitlements
Cisco AppDynamics bases Flex entitlements based on total license consumption between on-premises and SaaS deployments. Each entitlement issued is intended for only one deployment form (on-premises or SaaS). The total consumption for both deployment types may not exceed the total Flex entitlements purchased.
Flex License Usage
Flex license usage is reported differently for On-Premises and SaaS deployments. On-premises usage is tracked through a required annual certification of on-premise license utilization. SaaS license usage is monitored and visualized through the Controller.
