Licensing Notes
- Licenses activate through official activation infrastructure
- Monthly pricing is available where agreed for recurring, short-term, project-based, or operational billing arrangements
- One-time pricing applies where a perpetual, non-recurring, or client-owned licence is required
- Deployments running for less than 12 months may be billed against the applicable one-time licence cost
- CAL requirements remain the responsibility of the client unless otherwise agreed
- Final licensing suitability should be confirmed against the client’s intended deployment model
- Licensing suitability may vary depending on virtualisation and deployment architecture
Monthly licensing is provided for flexibility and operational billing clarity. It should not be interpreted as replacing formal licensing requirements where perpetual or client-owned licensing is required.
Supported Deployment Environments
- VMware vSphere
- Microsoft Hyper-V
- Physical server deployments
- Hybrid infrastructure environments
- Dedicated enterprise infrastructure

Procurement & Commercial Positioning
Some licensing products may be supplied through Alternative Procurement Channels depending on availability, deployment model, or commercial requirements (for example OEM, bulk purchase, refurbished, or volume licensing arrangements).
Enterprise and volume licensing guidance is available where appropriate.
Certain licensing products may be quoted directly rather than publicly standardised, depending on deployment architecture and support requirements.
Positioning Statement
CFTS does not position software licensing as a commodity resale exercise.
We provide infrastructure-aligned licensing guidance designed to support stable, supportable, and operationally predictable environments.
