Trend Vision One credit-based licensing is an innovative pricing model that provides you with a more flexible way to manage multiple solutions through Trend Vision One.

Credit-based licensing gives you the freedom to deploy Trend Micro services without the hassle of individual licenses. You can reallocate resources at any time, enabling you to respond dynamically to changing demands. Start using credits in four simple steps.
Step 1: Estimate your credit requirement
Step 2: Purchase credits
Contact your sales representative to purchase a subscription license for Trend Vision One credits. You can also purchase Trend Vision One credits from any affiliated marketplace, such as the Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure marketplaces.
Tip
Tip
If you purchase more credits than initially necessary, any extra credits can be used to try out new Trend Micro solutions or respond to unexpected demands.
Step 3: Allocate credits to supported apps and services in Trend Vision One
When you allocate credits to or enable supported apps or services in Trend Vision One, credits are deducted from your available credit balance. If you stop allocating credits or disable the apps or services, credits are automatically returned to your available credit balance.
Tip
Tip
Trend Vision One credits are a type of subscription license, so all your purchased credits are valid and accessible until their expiration date. In other words, you do not "spend" credits, you only allocate them. You can freely allocate and reallocate your credits for the duration of the license term.
