Prerequisites
The Operations Manager subscription plan is the regular, scalable Offering for this Cloud Service. The subscription term is twelve (12) months with automatic renewal; the Cloud Service fee is paid in advance. The subscription plan can be upscaled at any time and Cloud Service fees for upscales are calculated on a pro-rated basis. The Customer can also scale down the Cloud Service effective with the end of the current subscription term. The subscription fee will be adjusted for the upcoming billing term. The Cloud Service can be cancelled any time, effective with the end of the current subscription term.
The Operations Manager Essentials and Standard subscription plan can be purchased in packages of 100 data points. At least one must be purchased per connected device, see list of connected devices.
