To estimate your total credit needs, you must calculate the sum of your estimated credit needs for each TrendAI Vision One™ solution you plan to use. You can use the credit calculator to do so, or contact your TrendAI™ representative to access the Excel spreadsheet version of the credit calculator.
The credit calculator works as follows:
  • Calculate the total credits required for a given solution package:
    Annual credit requirement of the package * estimated number of units * contract term (in years) = credits required for the package
  • Repeat for every TrendAI Vision One™ solution package you want to use.
  • Add up your estimated credit usage for all solutions packages you plan to use.
    Credits required for Package A + credits required for Package B + credits required for Package C = total credits required
For example, if you plan to use Endpoint Security Essentials and Email and Collaboration Security Core, you can calculate your required credits as follows:
  • Endpoint Security Essentials: 65 credits per endpoint annually * 100 endpoints * 1 year = 6,500 credits
  • Email and Collaboration Security Core: 25 credits per user annually * 500 users * 1 year = 12,500 credits
  • Total credits needed: 6,500 + 12,500 = 19,000 credits

Note
Note that instead of purchasing solution-specific licenses, you can now simply purchase a TrendAI™ Flex (credits) license for the total number of credits you need and use those credits to enable all TrendAI Vision One™ solution packages.
However, if you already purchased individual TrendAI Vision One™ solution SKUs, you do not lose any value—your solution SKUs automatically convert to credits in the TrendAI Vision One™ and contribute to your credit balance. For more information, see Why are my licenses calculated into credits?
