Kubernetes

Scalability and flexibility are critical to building successful, future-proof applications in today's cloud computing world. Platforms like AWS Fargate, Azure App Services, and Kubernetes enable developers to build and deploy applications that dynamically scale to meet demand. However, as your application scales horizontally to handle increasing workloads, licensing considerations for third-party tools such as TX Text Control become more important.

With the upcoming release of TX Text Control for Linux, this scalability becomes even more attractive and cost-effective, as the Linux version is a more affordable alternative to the Windows version when it comes to deployment.

This is where we offer the unlimited runtime (OEM) license for TX Text Control, which provides unparalleled benefits for cloud-native deployments.

Understanding Per-Instance Licensing

TX Text Control's standard deployment licensing model is based on a per-instance approach, where each running instance of your application requires a separate license. This model works well for traditional, static deployments, but introduces complexity in cloud environments where instances are dynamically created and destroyed.

Scale dynamically is a powerful feature in platforms such as AWS Fagate, Azure App Services, and Kubernetes:

AWS Fargate creates new container instances of your application as demand increases. Each of these instances runs its own instance of TX Text Control. Azure App Services uses horizontal scaling, adding more application instances to handle traffic spikes. Each additional instance also requires a separate TX Text Control license. Kubernetes orchestrates and scales your containers based on workload requirements, creating pods that run your application. Each pod hosting TX Text Control also requires its own license under the per-instance model.

In all of these cases, as your application scales, the number of licenses required grows proportionally, potentially creating a problem:

Licensing overhead: Each new instance or pod requires a valid license. Complexity: Tracking, managing, and ensuring compliance for dynamic instances is challenging. Cost: As you scale, the cost of licensing under a per-instance model will increase significantly.

Unlimited Runtime (OEM) License

TX Text Control's unlimited runtime (OEM) license is designed to address these challenges by providing a flexible, cost-effective, flat-fee licensing model ideal for cloud-native deployments.

With an OEM license, you can deploy TX Text Control in your application without worrying about the number of instances or pods running your application. Here are the key benefits:

Unlimited instances With an OEM license, you can deploy unlimited instances of TX Text Control throughout your application, regardless of how much you scale. Whether your application runs one instance or hundreds, you are fully covered with a single OEM license. Simplified licensing management Dynamic cloud environments can spin up and shut down instances unpredictably. With an OEM license, there's no need to track individual instances, making compliance effortless. You eliminate the operational overhead associated with licensing. Cost predictability The OEM license provides a fixed cost structure, unlike per-instance licensing where costs scale with demand. This predictability enables better financial planning and ensures you can scale with confidence without worrying about unexpected licensing costs. Cloud-native friendly Designed for cloud-native deployments, the OEM license allows you to build scalable, flexible applications without worrying about licensing restrictions. It's a perfect fit for platforms like AWS Fargate, Azure App Services, and Kubernetes.

Future-Proof Your Cloud Deployments

It's critical to choose licensing models that align with these technologies as organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native architectures. In addition to simplifying compliance and cost management, an OEM license allows your application to scale seamlessly, ensuring that it's ready for growth and changing workloads.

Conclusion

Cloud platforms like AWS Fargate, Azure App Services, and Kubernetes are unlocking the full potential of dynamic scaling, but they also require an equally dynamic licensing approach. The OEM license for TX Text Control is the perfect solution for modern, scalable applications. With unlimited deployment rights and simplified management, it's the ultimate choice for developers and organizations building the future of document processing in the cloud.

Our sales engineers are available to help you define your licensing needs and determine how the unlimited runtime license can benefit your specific deployment scenario.
