Why each option
An Open Plan volume licensing model allows an enterprise to acquire software or services transactionally as they are needed, rather than through a fixed agreement or consumption-based billing.
Open licensing typically involves purchasing specific licenses, which might be per-user or per-device, not an unrestricted "any user" access.
This describes subscription-based licensing or enterprise agreements where a predetermined number of users is covered, unlike the transactional nature of Open Plan.
Costs related directly to usage describe consumption-based cloud services, not the acquisition of software licenses under an Open Plan volume license.
This model permits organizations to acquire licenses for software or services incrementally when they are required, aligning with a transactional "pay-as-you-go" purchasing approach rather than a fixed subscription or consumption model.
