License Enforcement
The SaaS Accelerator requires licenses to control the number of users and the amount of accelerated data. This chapter describes license enforcement considerations, including these topics:
License expiring
As you approach your license expiration date, warning emails are sent to realm and organization administrators and an alert is posted in SAM.
If your license expires and you exceed your 30-day grace period, the configuration is undeployed and deleted. (You will need to completely reconfigure the SaaS Accelerator to restart the service.)
We recommend renewing your license when the warnings begin. You can review your license expiration dates on the Configure > Licenses page in SAM.
Exceeding data license limits
As you approach your data license limits, warning emails are sent to realm and organization administrators and an alert is posted to SAM.
If an organization exceeds the data limit, Riverbed will invoice the customer for data overage fees. For more information, see this document:
https://www.riverbed.com/document/legal/saas-accelerator-data-overage-fees.pdf If an organization exceeds the data limit, the SaaS service cluster stops acceleration. To resume service, purchase more data within the grace period.
You can monitor your AppUnit and data usage from SAM. For details, see
Monitoring AppUnit usage.
As you approach your license limits, we recommend increasing your usage limits with add-on licenses.
Reaching connection limits
When the SaaS Accelerator service reaches the number of connections for its configured limits, it enters admission control and new connections matching the SaaS application defined in the client-side appliance in-path rule will not be accelerated.
The SaaS Accelerator service accelerates new connections after it exits admission control.
