Along with application objects as a measurement criterion for OutSystems licensing calculations, what other factors are considered?
What is the concept of 100 internal users? How does the cost change when the number of internal users exceeds 100?
Is the 100 internal users limit the same by default for an environment with 300 application objects as well as for environments with 1000 or 1350 application objects?
As we know, an OutSystems application is licensed in packages of 150 application objects.
Hello.
The final price also depends in several other factors, as number of environments, support level, and extra services activated.
Don't waste time in the forum hearing what someone in a different situation negotiated years ago. The best way to know the real price it is to talk with the Sales team at OutSystems and say what you want. They will say the price of what you know you need, and advice in things you may also need but don't know.
Hello, Priya
OutSystems licensing is mainly driven by Application Objects (AOs), but other licensing dimensions are independent of AO consumption.
One of them is internal users.
The reference to 100 internal users is a standard entitlement included in the base platform license. It represents the number of named internal users who can authenticate and access internal or back-office applications. This limit is not related to the number of applications, modules, or application objects.
If the number of internal users exceeds 100, the platform does not impose a hard technical limit. Instead, additional internal user packs must be licensed. This increase is purely a commercial adjustment and does not affect application objects, architecture, or deployment.
Importantly, the 100 internal users' entitlement is the same regardless of platform size. An environment with 300 AOs has the same default internal user entitlement as one with 1000 or 1350 AOs. Application Objects and Internal Users are separate and independent licensing dimensions.
Application Objects measure platform usage and solution complexity, while Internal Users measure who can log in. Increasing one does not automatically require increasing the other.
