Licensing overview

The IBM® Maximo® Application Suite (MAS) comes in three packages: client managed, software as a service (SaaS) or managed by IBM Site Reliability Engineering. They have a simplified licensing and usage model leveraging a credit-based system called AppPoints. This provides the flexibility to add functions and users, scale your business, and pay only for what you use with a single entitlement that provides access to applications without additional provisioning.

Frequently asked questions

The differences between these three options are reflected in the table above. You can make an informed decision based on your specific business needs by choosing the best management model for you, deployment options, and the level of customizations you need.

No, thanks to the AppPoints system you only need to install the components you want to deploy.

AppPoints are credits or units of value by which the suite can be licensed. Each application and user type requires a specific number of AppPoints.

MAS can be deployed on premises, through hyperscalers (customer managed on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other clouds), as SaaS through AWS, or as a dedicated managed service through IBM.

If you choose on premise, you’ll purchase MAS from IBM, but you’ll provide infrastructure and you’ll also provision, manage and operate full stack.

If you opt for cloud hyperscalers, you have two options: bring your own license (BYOL) or paid through Marketplace listing. BYOL means you’ll purchase software from IBM and infrastructure from hyperscalers, whereas the second option means you’ll purchase both software and infrastructure from hyperscalers.

There’s also the SaaS option, which means you’ll purchase single part (software, infrastructure, and operations) from either IBM sales/channels or AWS Marketplace. In this case, IBM provisions, manages, and operates your MAS environment on AWS cloud using IBM's AWS cloud account.

Last but not the least, dedicated means you’ll purchase software and managed service (including infrastructure) from IBM, and that IBM provisions, manages, and operates your MAS environment on IBM Cloud or AWS in an IBM owned account.

But you don’t need to make that decision yourself; you can rely on our trusted advisors. Book a consultation with an IBM expert, explain your use case and what you want to achieve through the Maximo Application suite, and you’ll be presented with the best option for you and your business.
