Pricing · one licence axis

Licensed on one number: subscribers.

One annual subscription per instance, banded by concurrent subscribers. Every feature in every band; no bandwidth tiers, no core counts, no feature add-ons. Free up to 50 subscribers, and quoted in pounds, euros or US dollars above that.

The band structure is fixed; band prices are quoted on request, in US dollars (USD) or either of the other two currencies — tell us your subscriber count and we will come back with a figure. netavo-cgn (standalone CGNAT) is a separate SKU metered by inside subscribers — see the CGNAT page.

02
What "one lever" means
Subscribers · nothing else counted

A subscriber is a concurrent session, and dual-stack counts once. That is the entire licence. Run any server, any interface speed, any core count, at any throughput. When you grow past a band, you move up a band — nothing else about your hardware or traffic affects the price.

Why subscription-only? A perpetual licence from a small vendor is a promise about the future with no income behind it. An annual subscription keeps us accountable each year, and keeps every deployment on supported, patched code.

Standby/HA instances are heavily discounted. Multi-year prepay exists for capex budgets. Prices change only at renewal — never mid-term.

The exact phone-home payload is inspectable on-box. No hidden fields.

03
The enforcement promise
Forwarding never stops
What happens if the licence expires or we go over-band?
The control plane enters an administrative freeze: configuration commits, upgrades and onboarding changes are refused. The data plane keeps forwarding, unaffected — subscribers see no change in service. Enforcement acts on the operator's console, and is architecturally incapable of touching traffic. We consider licence mechanisms that degrade forwarding to be an unacceptable design, and built ours so that it cannot.
What if the box can't reach your licensing server?
Leases run ~45 days and renew daily, so it takes ~45 consecutive days of failed contact before anything trips, so a weekend outage, a firewall change or an unreachable licensing server does not affect forwarding. Air-gapped networks skip phone-home entirely with offline signed licence files.
What exactly do you see when it phones home?
Aggregate operational data: session high-water marks, band, software version, data-plane health, hardware inventory. Never subscriber identity, addresses, or traffic. Run show licensing telemetry to see the exact payload before it's sent, and set telemetry to minimal to send only the entitlement basics.
What counts as one instance?
One running data plane. An HA standby is a second instance at a heavy discount. Lab/eval boxes under 50 subscribers are free.
What if we briefly burst over our band?
Service continues. Enforcement is deliberately slow: telemetry drives a true-up conversation rather than a lockout. Sustained growth means moving up a band.
You're a small vendor. What if Netavo disappears?
A reasonable question for a vendor of our size. We put continuity commitments in writing for banded customers, including source-code escrow; ask us for the current terms.
