Pay As You Grow Licensing

The Pay As You Grow (PAYG) licensing enables you to implement a cost effective solution when the wavelength requirements are comparatively less than the maximum capacity of the network.

For more information about the Pay As You Grow feature, see the Understanding the Pay As You Grow Feature.

Pay As You Grow

On enabling the Pay As You Grow licensing, the CTP algorithm decides on whether to use a PAYG instead of a standard capacity card based on the lower implementation cost.

Table 1 lists PAYG licenses.
