When you review your Axcient invoice under normal circumstances, if you are buying bundles of ShadowProtect server licenses with the Axcient cloud, the number of ShadowProtect cloud machines will match the number of your ShadowProtect cloud servers.

• When there is no discrepancy between the number of cloud machines and the number of cloud servers, there will be no additional overage charges on your invoice.  

However, if your invoice should indicate the number of ShadowProtect cloud machines in the Axcient Cloud is greater the number of licenses you have purchased, there will be an additional overage charge (Note: cloud-only overages are less expensive than the license+cloud bundles).

For example:

In this example, there are eight (8) cloud machines, but only three (3) have been billed as part of a bundle (“3 ShadowProtect cloud servers”). You would then see an overage of five (5) cloud-only servers on your invoice.

You will only see the difference (5) as an overage charge on your invoice and NOT the full number (8). 

[ 8 ShadowProtect cloud machines] minus [ 3 ShadowProtect cloud servers] = 5 cloud-only servers

Remember: normally the number of ShadowProtect cloud machines will match the number of ShadowProtect cloud servers and so the overage charge will be 0.

Also, note that cloud-only overages are less expensive than the license+cloud bundles. Please contact your account manager if you have questions about your rates.

Your most recent invoice will indicate the number of Cloud Machines located in the Axcient Cloud in excess of the number of licenses purchased.
