What counts as a machine

How the machine allowance counts collected machines and typed technologies, and what happens when you go over it.

  • 4. Adding machines

1. What counts

  • Every machine that has reported through a collector, until you remove it.
  • One machine for each technology typed in by hand.

The allowance is for the whole account, shared by all its environments: Pro includes 50 machines and Enterprise 150.

2. The details

  • A machine that stops reporting keeps counting. It is marked “not reporting since …”, and you can remove it; Ovesion never removes one by itself.
  • A removed machine stops counting at once. Removing a machine whose collector still runs frees nothing: its next report brings it back.
  • A machine reporting into two environments counts twice.
  • Suspended and archived environments do not count.

3. When you go over

  1. At 80% of your allowance, the app shows a notice; when it is full, the owner gets an email.
  2. You then have 14 days to make room, with a reminder on day 7: remove machines, add machines, or move to a larger plan.
  3. After the 14 days, only new machines wait: they are listed as waiting and not evaluated, and new typed technologies are refused. Nothing already covered goes dark: every machine and technology already counted keeps its answers and alerts.
  4. When there is room again, the waiting machines are evaluated, oldest first.

Nothing is ever charged automatically. Only you add machines.

4. Adding machines

On a paid plan, the owner adds machines on the Subscription page: Pro in packs of 25 for R399 a month, up to 100 machines; Enterprise by the machine, R12 a month for each machine above the 150 included, with no maximum.

A pack added mid-month is charged for the rest of that month at once, then joins your monthly amount. Pricing has the plans and billing questions.
