Licensing models for Forcepoint NGFW in the AWS cloud

Two licensing models are supported for Forcepoint NGFW in the AWS cloud.

There are two AMIs, depending on the licensing model:

• Bring Your Own License — You pay only Amazon's standard runtime fee for the engine instance. You must install a license for the engine in the Forcepoint NGFW Security Management Center (SMC). Forcepoint Customer Hub is provided according to your support contract. For more information, see Support Programs.
• Hourly (pay as you go license) — You pay Amazon's standard runtime fee for the engine instance plus an hourly license fee based on the runtime of the engine. No license installation is needed for the engine in the SMC. Your subscription includes Forcepoint essential support. For more information, see Support Information.
