Automic Automation execution-based License Guide

Introduction

Broadcom has fundamentally revised the licensing model for Automic Automation. The solution now follows a modern execution-based approach, replacing the previous model.

We also discuss why monitoring executions is helpful and how to establish an effective monitoring strategy.

Execution-based licensing directly aligns costs with business value, as fees depend on the successful execution of automated jobs. This approach is better aligned with today’s automation challenges: scaling across hybrid cloud environments, orchestrating end-to-end business processes, and moving beyond traditional batch workloads.
