MCoins can be used to pay for all MDriven Services.

An account may have MCoins of two flavors:

• Paid MCoins
  • Lifetime of 5 years
• Free MCoins
  • Varying lifetime
    • Autorefill: once a week
    • Giveaways: 1 year

Free MCoins are used before the Paid ones in an account.

Paid MCoins

• Can be purchased in batches and will be credited to your MDriven Portal Account.

Free MCoins are given away

• Every week to all accounts
• On recruitment
• As a giveaway

Using MCoins

• For used time
• For calendar time
• Certain functions in the designer are blocked until you log in - once you log in we track designer day usage ; used this day or not (Play,Generate code, 20 classes limit)

Prices for Used Time

• Running the designer "ad hoc". 2 MCs / day
• Running a basic hosted model: 0.2 MCs / day , each Turnkey site has a default weight factor of 1 but this can be overriden by admin to correctly assign cost to heavier sites. This weight factor should be automatically calculated in the future - based on model size and/or transaction amount and/or db usage and/or production status.
• Running a basic hosted model (MDrivenServer) on own machine: 0.1 MC / day
• MDrivenServer features can be individually priced, but that's for the future to decide
• In the future maybe Azure pricing can be used as a basis for MC costs

Prices for Calendar Time

• Designer: 60 MCs / year
• MDrivenServer (basic): 500 MCs / year
• Client: 120 MCs / year

MCoin Accounts
License keys are linked to a "price plan". If the license key is a calendar type of license, the price per hour is 0, but has an end date. If the license key is a "Used Time" type of license, it's not limited in calendar time, but has a price.
