As an Orion OEM customer, when is Acropolis not appropriate for us?

You would not consider Acropolis if any of the following applies:

• You only need to redistribute the Orion server to your end customer sites and you license your Orion servers in legacy mode (using EasyLicenser’s license generation mechanisms for licensing the Orion servers themselves). The redistributed Orion servers will in any case be autonomously managed by your end customers’ administrators for their end users’ license pools. If you license protected your redistributed Orion servers with Orion, an Acropolis subscription is mandatory. See the Orion product page for an explanation of how the redistributed Orion server is license protected.
• You already have a data center and a capable system administration staff with available resources to operate the Orion license server.
• For any reason, you do not wish / are not allowed to have your end customers communicate with any server other than your own.
• You have unusual capacity and performance requirements that are ordinarily not met with a Linux-based hosted machine.
