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.
