Hi everyone,
About the outsystems licensing model, we are working on reducing the application objects of the customer license.
License Scenario: In the Customer Portal, we can check the AOs consumption and limit for each environment (Prod, Non-Prod and Lifetime) as follows:
- Prod: Limited to X AOs;
- N-Prod: Unlimited AOs;
- Lifetime: Limited to Y AOs;
I have read lots of information from articles and forums posts, but there is one piece of information I could not specifically find, which is:
- Is the total AOs licensed accounted only for the Prod environment (X)? Or is it accounted for Prod + Lifetime, since its displayed as limited, so it would be (X + Y)?
I understand that the documentation (https://success.outsystems.com/support/licensing/application_objects/) affirms "The AO capacity you license only applies to production runtimes. Development and non-production/QA runtimes allow unlimited AOs, but cannot be used for running apps for production use. ", but why is the Lifetime environment shown as Limited to Y AOs and how it this accounted in the licensing model?
Thanks in advance!
Hello Leandro,
Hope you’re doing well.
The total AOs licensed are accounted only for production environment. The Lifetime environment does not impact your licensing.
Kind regards,

Hello Rui,
Thank you for the quick response.
Ok, so that means we can use Lifetime environment to host apps that integrates with Lifetime's own API to have, for example, custom software metrics, custom monitoring tools and even CI/CD pipelines across all the environments without any extra costs, as long as we keep AOs under the limit. Is that correct?

Yes sir, that is correct :)
Thank you so much!
Appreciate it! :)
