License Usage

Magnus Box bills you only for the licenses you actually use. At the end of each month, our billing system counts your devices and updates your invoice automatically.

How devices are billed

Each device is billed as a workstation or a server based on its operating system, which we detect automatically. You can name your devices anything you like. There are no codes to add and no license keys to buy.

The only exception is NFR (not for resale) devices. To use one of your free NFR licenses, add -NFR to the end of the device name. See How to use your NFR licenses.

Other backup types

These are detected automatically and billed on top of the device license, including on NFR devices:

• Disk Image
• Office 365 (see How am I billed for an Office 365 backup?)

Virtual machines and Proxmox

How a virtual machine is billed depends on how you back it up:

• From the host (Hyper-V, VMware or Proxmox): each VM is billed per item at the rate for its platform. Proxmox VMs and Proxmox containers each have their own rate.
• With the app installed inside the VM: the VM uses a device license, like any other computer.

Renaming a device

To add or remove the -NFR tag later, open the user account in the Web Portal, go to the Devices tab and use Rename device.
