About Billing

Billing is the App management area that shows the license and quota envelope of the AlloyScan instance.

This section keeps two related surfaces together because they answer one operational question: what is this instance entitled to, and how much of that entitlement is being consumed?

Note: This page covers instance-level administration in App management. It is used by Global Administrators.

Admin Center > App management > Billing

Two pages, one topic set

The Billing area has two distinct pages:

Page Purpose
License Information Shows the current instance license, entitlement values, recharge day, and the Upload license action
Limits and usage Shows consumption against those entitlements over time

They belong together:

  • License Information explains what the instance is licensed for
  • Limits and usage shows how the instance is consuming that license

Instance scope vs Site scope

App management > Billing is instance-wide. It is not the same as the per-Site Admin Center > Limits and usage page.

Surface Scope Typical actor
App management > Billing Whole instance Global Administrator
Admin Center > Limits and usage One Site Site Administrator

Use the App management pages for the full deployment. A Site Administrator uses Admin Center > Limits and usage for the current Site's consumption or caps.

What to expect here

This topic set covers:

  • instance-level license identity fields
  • instance-level Discovery quotas
  • recharge day semantics
  • usage monitoring
  • the relationship between instance entitlements and per-Site caps
