Understanding licenses

OpenText™ Analytics Database has flexible licensing terms. It can be licensed on the following bases:

• Term-based (valid until a specific date).

• Size-based (valid to store up to a specified amount of raw data).

• Both term- and size-based.

• Unlimited duration and data storage.

• Node-based with an unlimited number of CPUs and users (one node is a server acting as a single computer system, whether physical or virtual).

• A pay-as-you-go model where you pay for only the number of hours you use. This license is available on your cloud provider's marketplace.

Your license key has your licensing bases encoded into it. If you are unsure of your current license, you can view your license information from within the database.

Trial license

The 30‑day Trial license is the current evaluation option for OpenText™ Analytics Database (Vertica). It provides a supported way to explore the database capabilities in a time‑limited environment before transitioning to a commercial license. For more information about trial entitlements and getting started, see Trial license as the Evaluation Option.

The license cannot be installed co-located in a Hadoop infrastructure and used to query data stored in Hadoop formats.
