License Policy for ARCON Secure Compliance Management
Licensing parameters are determined by the number and type of digital assets being onboarded. A digital asset refers to any identifiable IT resource such as a device, system, database, or service instance—including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS applications, or standalone applications. Each application or asset onboarded constitutes a measurable unit for licensing purposes.
