Questions & Answers
What is the difference between Named and Concurrent?
Named User License: This license type is assigned to a specific user identified by his login name. The license is optimal for users who work regularly and frequently with Polarion.
Concurrent User License: This license type is not for a specific user, this license type counts the number of users working with or enabling Polarion software at the same time. This license is optimal for users who use Polarion from time-to-time and share the license with other team members. Named and Concurrent licenses from any Polarion software product or license type may be mixed with each other. You may add licensed users to your configuration at any time. With our Named and Concurrent licensing you can easily plan for each user’s needs and frequency of use, to ensure you are only paying for what you need.
Annual Licenses are available in Named and are bundled with Polarion Cloud hosting, and Polarion Support and Maintenance.
What is Polarion Support and Maintenance and when does it start?
You buy a lifetime license to use the software. Annual Support and Maintenance is 20% of the license cost, required for the first year. Subsequent years are optional. Your Polarion Support and Maintenance period will commence from the date of payment confirmation.
