Overage
Customers may choose to exceed their pre-paid subscription commitments during a Monthly Billing Cycle (MBC). If this occurs, Frame will invoice the customer for this “overage.” This page discusses how Frame determines whether the customer has incurred overage during an MBC. Instructions for paying the overage can be found at the bottom of the page.
Named User
At the end of each MBC, Frame calculates the number of unique named users who have logged into Frame during the MBC. The difference between the actual number of unique users and the number of named user subscriptions purchased, if greater than 0, is the named user subscription overage that will be billed to the customer. If the customer purchased via credit card, the user subscription overage will be billed to the credit card on file at the “pay as you go” rate. If the customer purchased via purchase order, then Frame will invoice the customer for the named user subscription overage at the named user subscription list price.
Max Concurrent User
At the end of each MBC, Frame computes the sum of all test and production pool “max” Default Capacity values set in all Frame accounts, under all Organization entities, for the customer's tenant. Overage is defined the difference between the sum of all test and production pool max values and max concurrent user subscriptions purchased. If this value is greater than 0, then Frame will invoice the customer for the maximum concurrent user subscription overage at the max concurrent user subscription list price.
Microsoft RDS SAL
For customers who choose to purchase Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Subscriber Access Licenses (RDS SALs) from Frame, at the end of each MBC, Frame calculates the number of unique named users who have logged into Frame during the MBC. The difference between the actual number of unique users and the number of Microsoft RDS SALs purchased, if greater than 0, is the Microsoft RDS SAL overage that will be billed to the customer.
If the customer purchased named user subscriptions via credit card, the Microsoft RDS SAL overage will be included as part of the named user subscription overage and billed to the credit card on file at the “pay as you go” rate. If the customer purchased via purchase order, then Frame will invoice the customer for the Microsoft RDS SAL overage at the RDS SAL list price.
IaaS Credits
For customers who purchase Frame IaaS Credits to run their workloads on Frame-managed public cloud infrastructure subscriptions, at the end of each MBC, Frame calculates the total amount of IaaS Credits used and deducts the credits from the customer's IaaS Credit balance. If the customer's IaaS Credit balance goes below zero credits, the IaaS Credit overage will be billed to the customer. If the customer purchased via credit card, the overage will be billed to the credit card on file at the “pay as you go” rate. If the customer purchased via purchase order, then Frame will invoice the customer for the IaaS Credit overage at the IaaS Credit list price.
Frame IaaS Credit consumption rates and specifications for each instance type and storage by IaaS provider can be found on our pricing page.
Paying for Overages
Customers can pay for their overages in the following ways:
Dizzion Customers:
- You will receive an overage invoice direct from Dizzion with payment instructions.
Legacy Nutanix Customers:
- You can view any overage invoices within My Nutanix Billing Center. Please follow the payment instructions provided on the invoice. Optionally, you can also add your credit card information within Billing Center at which point any outstanding invoices will be automatically charged to the credit card.
As we complete our integration with Dizzion, our subscription process is also evolving to better serve you. While you may still purchase Frame entitlements through Nutanix during this transition period, this channel will eventually be phased out. Customers are strongly encouraged to purchase and renew their Frame entitlement directly with Dizzion. Please reach out to our sales team to determine the best option for your organization.
