Didn't know where to post

Please can we have a clear statement on potential costing around configuration manager, the app store states you early adopters can get up to 1000 CI free

'Application Details

Hornbills Configuration Manager App has been published as a Beta App as we are looking to solicit feedback on what features and functionality you, our customers feel are required to take this to the next stage in its evolution.

Once the Hornbill Configuration Manager App is made available for subscription, the pricing plan for the App will be based on the number of CI's 'In Policy' with the first 250 free and any additional CI's charged at 15p per CI per month.* This is subject to potential changes.

As a contributor under the beta program, at the point we take the Hornbill Configuration Manager App out of Beta and introduce a subscriptions, you will be issued with a Hornbill Configuration Manager Beta Program Voucher. This voucher offers you a recurring monthly credit to the value of a further 750 In Policy CI's meaning that you get to manage 1000 CI's for free going forward before you have to add in any additional CI's at a cost. Thats just our way to thank you for the feedback and guidance you will provide in shaping the future of this amazing new Hornbill App.

However the wiki states there is no CI limit its just free for early adopters

Configuration Manager has been published as a Beta App as we are looking to solicit feedback on what features and functionality is required to take this to the next stage in its evolution. As such and under the Hornbill Priced for Life Guarantee this means that currently access to this App is free from subscriptions. This will remain the case for all early adopters at such time we do introduce subscriptions, that's just our way to thank you for the feedback and guidance you will provide in shaping the future of this new amazing Hornbill App

Final part is there a easy method to check how many CI's you are currently using like for example the licence count you do?

Apologies for the confusion. The wiki page has been updated to match what has been posted in the App Store. We also now have a forum area for all questions regarding Configuration Manager. We will look forward to your feedback.

Hi Gareth.

Just thought I would add the following for clarity.

The Hornbill Configuration Manager is an integrated App you can install alongside Service Manager to extend the current functionality around the management of Assets/CI's by putting them into Policy amongst other things. The degree to which you can extend this management will continue to mature in the coming months and it is this type of feedback that we are looking to solicit.

It is not anticipated that a customer would seek to put all their Assets/CI's into Policy, only those that are deemed to require this additional degree of management.

As such one can still import and manage all their Assets/CI's in Service Manager at no additional cost, as is the case with the first 250 'In Policy' Assets/CI's.

At the point the App comes out of beta one will only have to subscribe to manage 'In Policy' Assets or CI's over and above the 250 included as part of the App for free.

As a beta program participant at the point we take the App out of beta and apply the pricing plan as published in the Hornbill App Store you will be entitled to claim the voucher as detailed - "Hornbill Configuration Manager Beta Program Voucher. This voucher offers you a recurring monthly credit to the value of a further 750 In Policy CI's meaning that you get to manage 1000 CI's for free going forward before you have to add in any additional CI's at a cost."

I hope this make sense please ask if you need any further clarification.

Hi Abdi

Makes perfect sense just wanted to clarify

Juts going forward a status page under the config manager section giving the number of current payable CI would be good like you do with the licences in service manager
