Licensing HIVE
Enterprise install base model
Hive Streaming offers two methods of video distribution, installable Agent and browser-based WebRTC. Customers may seek a standalone HIVE WebRTC-based service or the complete pipeline (HIVE Agent + HIVE WebRTC).
There are three separate volume-tiered price lists for each option that use the price models described in the chart.
Service | Use Level | Advantage | |
View Based License (VBL) | The customer commits to a yearly pool of VBLs A VBL is activated when a Hive enabled video is viewed. The viewing session ends after 30 minutes of inactivity. | The customer only pays for their current needs and commits to a yearly license pool based on the number of views. | |
Installed Endpoints | Per-seat licensing - The customer pays for the total number of users with HIVE's technology installed on their devices, typically all employees | Predictable fixed cost for budgeting purposes. | |
Active | The customer pays for the maximum number of active devices each month Customers make a volume commitment with a true-up for any overage | Gives the customer the flexibility of having the cost track with activity Supported by both HIVE Agent-based deployments and HIVE WebRTC | |
Flex | The customer buys a bucket of monthly active device licenses to be used over next year There is a true-up for any overage when the contract ends. | With an annual commitment, customers receive the flexibility of active device licensing, at a lower unit price point Supported by both HIVE Agent-based deployments and HIVE WebRTC | |
Partners are paid for each registered opportunity that results in a sale. Referral partners are paid a commission after Hive is paid by the customer. Resellers and Distributors purchase HIVE technology at a discount, adding margin when they resell to a customer.
