DataMiner Perpetual-use Pricing
DataMiner is available as Perpetual Use Licenses or in two flavors of usage-based models, namely the Pay-per-Use Plan and Subscription Plan.
Perpetual-Use Licensing is based on the proven and flexible DataMiner Licensing Scheme. Licenses are available for DataMiner nodes, optional functions, connectors to interface DataMiner with different third-party products, and special-purpose licenses.

- [1] DataMiner nodes and optional functions; depending on the license some advanced functions are optional, those include Correlation, Automation, Dashboards App, Process Automation, DataMiner Object Models (DOM), Low-Code Apps, and Spectrum Analysis. More information .
- [2] Server-based licenses, each with fixed capacity tiers of managed objects: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000.
- [3] Capacity-based licenses, starting with a volume of 1000 Managed Objects, and then onwards in multiples of 5,000 up to 50,000 Managed Objects’ capacity licenses.
- [4] Capacity-based licenses, available in the following capacity packages: 25k, 50k, 100k, 250k, 500k, 1000k service-delivery endpoints.
What’s the difference between core processing, distribution infrastructure, and service-delivery endpoints?
The difference has to do with the type of application, complexity, and volume.
In core processing infrastructure, Managed Objects refer to the management of small up to large volumes of heterogeneous collections of objects in high-availability environments (e.g. managing devices and platforms in a data center, like switches and servers, AWS/Azure cloud based services, etc.). Distribution infrastructure may refer to the same type of Managed Objects but it's used when there are high volumes of objects of the same type (1,000 up to several 100s of thousands), as it's usually found in distribution networks (e.g. B2B endpoints, mobile and telco network infrastructure, or managing IoT network infrastructure, etc). Service delivery endpoints refer to the management of hundreds of thousands to several millions of consumer endpoints (e.g. customer premises equipment like STBs, modems, or OTT clients, wireless access points or IoT networks with millions of sensors).
What is a connector?
A connector is a virtual real-time representation of the functionalities supported through the remote interface (e.g. API) of a data source (e.g. an asset, device, platform, or function), they are used to interface a DataMiner System with those data sources. Connectors are designed in an open XML format, capable of modeling any communication protocol, industry-standard or proprietary, and hence they can be developed by anybody.
What's the cost to develop a new connector?
Connectors purchased from Skyline (see catalog) are purchased at a fixed committed license fee, irrespective of the interface required, the number of data sources of that type or the number of DataMiner Nodes in the system, and irrespective of whether the connector already exists or still needs to be developed - Skyline does not charge additional non-recurring engineering (NRE) fees for connectors that still need to be developed.
