kdb Insights or kdb Insights Enterprise License

You can purchase kdb Insights or kdb Insights Enterprise for use on Azure, via the Marketplace. To do this you must create and configure your account on our transactable SaaS billing offer named: kdb Insights or kdb Insights Enterprise License. You will be provided access to the license and software so that you can provision the infrastructure and install the application on Azure yourself.

Note

You will see in your invoices that this offer is billed for the agreed KX License amount. This allows you to create your kdb Insights or kdb Insights Enterprise instance whenever you want and we will still be able to generate KX License bills through this offer.

Our offer is MACC (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment) eligible, meaning it will contribute to your Azure consumption commitment benefit.

For Private Offer holders only

If you agreed on custom terms and conditions with KX, then KX will create a private offer for you. To do that you need to provide your Azure Billing Account Number.

You can find your billing account number in Azure > Cost Management > Billing Scopes > {Select your preferred scope} > Properties > ID field.

Once the private offer is ready, KX will send you an activation link for your private offer. It will contain the custom terms and conditions as well as the price that you have agreed on with KX.

To accept a private offer, you need to have "Billing account contributor" or "Billing account owner" role on the Billing Account.

Once accepted, you will be able to see your private offer in Azure Marketplace under both the private products and private offer management.
