# Cost & License Management

## Rierino Platform Licensing

Rierino platform uses a fixed annual license fee model, which includes support and access to latest platform upgrades. The fee depends on the number and complexity of modules deployed. For more details on pricing applicable to your scenario, please contact <hello@rierino.com>.

{% hint style="info" %}
A valid Rierino license grants your client credentials access to our artifacts on an ongoing basis, which is automatically used during our helm chart deployments. Hence, you do not need to maintain / replace license files or keys upon renewal of your annual licensing process.
{% endhint %}

## Additional Costs

In addition to our licensing, deployment of our platform on a cloud provider would incur the following costs:

* Kubernetes cluster, node and network traffic fees (such as AWS EKS, ECS & ELB fees)
* Marketplace / managed service fees for external systems (MongoDB, Kafka, Keycloak as well as any optional system such as Redis, Elasticsearch based on modules added)

{% hint style="info" %}
You can limit your infrastructure costs using your cloud provider's service limits, depending on your scalability and performance requirements.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rierino.com/installation/administration/cost-and-license-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
