On Public Cloud, what is included in the BYOL (Bring your own license) package?

Question

Options

• A1 year subscription includes: Software, Services & Support
• B1 year subscription for Services & Support
• CPerpetual licenses for Software only
• DPerpetual licenses for Software & Services

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  94% (48)

Explanation

BYOL (Bring Your Own License) means you're supplying software licenses you already own, so the package only covers what you don't bring yourself - which is nothing extra in this case. Option C is correct because BYOL specifically refers to perpetual (permanent, not subscription-based) licenses for the software component only; the customer owns these outright and brings them to the cloud environment.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because it bundles Software + Services + Support into a subscription - that describes a full managed/subscription offering, not BYOL.
• B is wrong because Services & Support alone (without software) would describe a support-only contract, not a license model.
• D is wrong because BYOL never includes Services - services are either purchased separately or provided by the cloud vendor; combining them contradicts the purpose of BYOL.

Memory tip: Think of BYOL as "just the software key in your pocket" - perpetual means you own it forever, and you're only bringing the license, not buying services or support through this package. If it mentions a subscription or services, it's not pure BYOL.
