Perpetual Pooled Licenses

Perpetual pooled licenses are CMS-based user licenses that do not expire in the way that subscription-based licenses do:

• Perpetual licenses are full user licenses and allow any type of connection (e.g., tunnel, web, ActiveSync).
• Perpetual CMS licenses are stackable. Licenses remains perpetual after being stacked.

Perpetual CMS user licenses cannot be stacked with a subscription CMS user license.

These licenses and components can be used with a perpetual pooled license:

• Subscription email license
• Subscription Capture CMS license
• Time-limited subscription components
