Answers to the most frequently asked questions about calculating license entitlements into Trend Vision One credits.
Why are my license entitlements calculated into credits?
The calculation of your license entitlements into credits offers you visibility into
how
credit-based licensing works. Your license remains the same, but instead of receiving
a fixed
amount of units (license seats), you receive the equivalent value in Trend Vision One credits. You retain the same
value and utility as the original units, but with added benefits.
Benefits of credits:
-
Reallocate any unused entitlements associated with your license:These display as available credits. You are free to allocate your available credits to any other supported feature of Trend Vision One. For a complete list of Trend Vision One features supporting credits, see Credit requirements for Trend Vision One apps and services.
-
Try other XDR sensors and Trend Vision One apps:You can reallocate credits from existing solutions if you want to try other supported solutions in Trend Vision One.
-
Choose to retain your current allocation:While credits offer you added flexibility, you can decide whether to use that option. You can leave the credits allocated to the current offerings and ensure that there is no change to your current experience.
Do I have to calculate my license entitlements into credits?
The entitlements are automatically calculated into credits, but this conversion does
not impact
your current licenses or deployments, nor your future renewal process. You can choose
to renew as
normal on your standard subscription SKU, and the credit calculation occurs automatically
each
time.

whether to
use that option.

How do I know I’m not losing any value when my licenses are converted to credits?
Calculating your existing entitlements into credits does not impact your current licenses
or
deployments. You continue to be entitled to everything you have with your current
license. The
intent is to offer added value, such as allowing you to adjust credit allocations
on-demand,
which eliminates underutilized licenses and fixed license counts for particular features
of Trend Vision One and supports easier, broader
feature adoption. This improvement helps ensure you fully capitalize on your investment
in Trend
Micro.
How do you determine how many credits I will get for my current entitlements?
Credits are automatically calculated based on the type and total number of XDR sensors
or
purchased units of other supported Trend Vision One services.
