How are Proxmox subscriptions calculated?
Proxmox software is open source and free to use under the GNU AGPLv3 license. A business subscription gives access to the Enterprise Repository with tested updates and, depending on the level, Proxmox technical support.
Product | Subscription unit | Does not affect the price |
|---|---|---|
Occupied physical CPU socket in the server, per year | Core count | |
Each PBS server, per year | Backed-up virtual machines, number of clients, storage capacity | |
Each PMG server | Number of users and domains (unlimited) |
All servers in a Proxmox VE cluster must have the same subscription level.
