All payments via Credit Card or PayPal will be auto renewed based on the payment duration opted by you. For additional payment-related information, refer here. 

Hourly Billing

The Hourly Billing option helps you to add specific monitor types even after using all the monitors in your license pack. Scaling up your environment is hassle free with the Hourly Billing option. For example, if you need to scale up the number of servers you use, you can add more servers using this option. The monitors under the Hourly Billing option will be charged based on the number of hours for which they are used.

Eligibility for the Hourly Billing option
Only customers who are either credit card users or recurring PayPal account holders are eligible for the Hourly Billing option.

Define Monitor Usage Limit

Being an MSP admin, you can prevent any unforeseen usage of monitors by restricting the monitor usage count in the customer account. This can be achieved by setting an upper usage limit for the basic, host, advanced monitors, and network bundle separately. Once you've defined the upper usage limit for the basic, host, and advanced monitors and network bundles ,you cannot add more monitors than the set limit, even when you've any unused monitors in the license. Other customer accounts can still use these unused monitors, if needed. You can always modify the usage limit, if you wish to add more monitors later.

All your existing configured monitors will continue to be active, even when your defined usage limit for the monitors is set at a lower value compared to the current usage. Also, if the defined usage limit is set at "0", no monitors can be further added to the account.

Use case:

Let's delve into an example to quantify this further. Say your MSP account has 50 basic, 10 host, and 3 advanced monitors in total. You've also setup two customer accounts, Customer A and Customer B. Now, consider you've defined an upper usage limit of 25 basic, 5 host and 1 advanced monitors for Customer A, whereas there isn't any upper usage limit defined for Customer B.

In this scenario, the Customer A will be able to add a maximum of 25 basic, 5 host, and 1 advanced monitors only. Assuming Customer A uses 15 basic, 2 host, and 1 advanced monitors from the entitled quota, only 10 basic, 3 host, and no advanced monitors can now be added. Now, if you decide to modify the upper usage limit to 30 basic, 7 host, and 2 advanced monitors for Customer A, the usage limit will be reset accordingly. On the other hand, the Customer B will have access to all the unused monitors, till an upper usage limit is defined.
