Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the ManageEngine purchasing / licensing options?

ManageEngine Cloud SaaS solutions are available only on a subscription basis.

There are two purchasing / license options available from ManageEngine for On-Premises solutions, namely an Annual Subscription and a Perpetual License with Annual Maintenance and Support (AMS) .

The Annual Subscription option includes the following for the period that the subscription is active:
  • The rights to use the product
  • Non-SLA based Remote Technical Support
  • The rights to download and install product maintenance


The Perpetual License with Annual Maintenance and Support (AMS) option has two parts:

Part 1: Perpetual License
  • The perpetual rights to use the version of the product available at the time of purchase


Part 2: Annual Maintenance and Support (AMS)
