## Licensing Models for AWS Auto-Scaling

Hello,

Since the recommendation for a Management Server for over 5 gateways is to BYOL, and the recommendation for an Auto-scaling group of CloudGuard Gateways is to PAYG, what would the recommended option be to deploy an environment that consists of 1 Management Server and 1 Logging server managing about 6 separate Auto-Scaling groups (each with 3 gateways in the auto-scaling group) that will be in their own VPCs in AWS?

It's still BYOL but you'd need a management license that can handle the appropriate number of gateways.

Based on what you described, you'd need a license that can manage (at minimum) 25 gateways.

Yes, I know you have less than that, but 25 is the next tier up.
