Small estates and pilots
Essentials
First 5 licenses free
Maximum protected VMs: 30
£35.40 / VM / year
Paid Essentials capacity is sold in 5-VM packs after the free entry allowance.
- Scheduled and on-demand VM backup into an EBA repository
- Full VM, disk and file-level restore back to the source platform
- Replication to a replica held on the same hypervisor family
- Test and live failover from that same-platform replica
- Same-platform restore of protected data stays available after the term ends
- Recovery onto a different hypervisor is not included; that starts at Enterprise
- Replication to a different hypervisor is not included
Same-platform protection at any size
Standard
Sold in 10-VM packs
Maximum protected VMs: no ceiling
£71.40 / VM / year
The same protection set as Essentials, without the entry-tier ceiling on how many VMs you protect.
- Everything in Essentials, plus:
- Estate size is not capped by the edition
- Recovery onto a different hypervisor is not included; that starts at Enterprise
- Replication to a different hypervisor is not included
Recovery across platforms
Enterprise
Sold in 10-VM packs
Maximum protected VMs: no ceiling
£107.40 / VM / year
For estates that need to recover, and permanently move, workloads onto a different hypervisor.
- Everything in Standard, plus:
- Restore a backup onto a different hypervisor, for example VMware into CloudStack
- Permanently promote a workload onto a different hypervisor through a committed restore
- That cross-platform recovery path survives into restore-only, after the term and grace period end
- Replication to a different hypervisor is not included; an ongoing cross-platform replica needs Enterprise Plus
- Cross-platform failover is not included; recovery across platforms here is a restore, not a live replica
- Reverse replication and failback are not included
Enterprise Plus
Mobility and DR licensing through sales.
Enterprise Plus is the only edition that keeps a live replica on a different hypervisor and can fail over to it, and back again. It is sold in 10-VM packs and priced on a quote, so scope it with the sales team.
Maximum protected VMs: no ceiling
- Everything in Enterprise, plus:
- Ongoing replication to a different hypervisor, for example a VMware workload replicated into CloudStack
- Rehearse a cross-platform replica with test failover, without committing it
- Run production workloads from a cross-platform replica
- Reverse replication and failback to the original platform
Edition Comparison
What Each Edition Is Entitled To.
This table is generated from the same capability matrix the appliance enforces, so what you read here is what the licence permits. Same-platform means recovery back to the hypervisor family a workload was protected from; different-platform means recovery onto another one.

The one-time column is a project licence rather than a tier: a unit binds to one named workload and is permanently consumed when the move is committed, so continued protection afterwards needs a subscription licence.
Licensing and editions documentationMigration Projects
For one-off platform moves where Sendense is used for the move itself rather than for ongoing protection. A unit binds to one named workload and is permanently consumed when the move is committed.
Maximum protected VMs: one named VM per unit
- One committed move of one named VM onto a different hypervisor
- Replication, test failover and cutover, inside the migration workflow only
- No ongoing backup; a migrated workload needs a subscription licence for continued protection
- No reverse replication or failback once the move is committed

MSP and CSP Licensing
Managed service, marketplace and multi-tenant licensing is tailored around your service model, committed capacity and route to market.
Contact SalesWhen a term ends
Your data stays recoverable.
- Active
- The subscription term is current. Every entitlement the edition includes is available.
- Grace period
- The term has ended but the grace period has not. Protection continues unchanged, and the exact date protection will stop is shown in the appliance.
- Restore only
- The term and the grace period have both ended. Data already protected stays recoverable; nothing new is protected.
Free Essentials Entry
The first 5 Essentials licenses are free, so labs and small estates can start without procurement friction.
Monthly VM Pricing
Published plan prices are per protected VM per month. Each edition's pack size and protected-VM ceiling are shown on its card and in the comparison table.
