S&C is introducing its OptiRamp Account Management System (AMS). The Account Management System is a cloud based approach to activate and manage licenses across a customerâs organization. AMS introduces a stand-alone software licensing and service model as far as offers, terms, and metering across product portfolios making it easier for customers to understand, purchase, and manage their OptiRamp licenses.
S&CÂ offers two licensing strategies subscription and perpetual:
- Subscription license: Software with the right to use for the length of the subscription term. The license is locked to the device and no additional annual fees are required to maintain support.
- Perpetual license: Software with the right to use for an indefinite time. The license is locked to the device and additional annual fees are required to maintain support.
Both perpetual and subscription licenses and supporting services can be purchased in AMS transactions. Each subscription transaction maintains its own term length. OptiRamp subscriptions are available in monthly terms or in one, two, or three year terms, based on the offer.
AMSÂ offers many different functionalities for the customer:
- Use AMS to manage licenses

- Submit tickets to report problems or ask for additional functionality
- Access Knowledge Base from AMS
- Access the latest OptiRamp software released from S&C
