SSA-SYNC is a way to bring all licenses in a Batch to a common SSA end date without having to buy full-year increments of SSA.
- License 1 has 47 Enterprise IP channels and an SSA end date of 2018-09-01
- License 2 has 6 Professional IP channels and an SSA end date of 2021-10-15
- License 3 has 4 Professional IP channels and an SSA end date of 2021-11-10
The desired outcome is for all licenses to have an SSA end date of 2022-12-31
In order to bring these 3 licenses to 2022-12-31, we need to use custom (partial-year) SSA as opposed to whole-year increments.
License 1 needs 1,582 days of SSA to bring the SSA end date to 2022-12-31
1,582 days of Enterprise SSA for 47 channels would cost $9,166.93, but we can reduce that using “Current Version”.
“Current Version” brings the license to the next exacqVision version date for a fixed price – in this case, $466.00
The next Current Version date is 2021-12-14, so we compare the SSA price to that date to the Current Version price:
The number of days from 2018-09-01 to 2021-12-14 is 1200
1200 days of Enterprise SSA for 47 channels is $6,953.43
Calculated as such: Enterprise SSA = $45.00 per year x 47 channels = $2,115.00 per year, divided by 365 = $5.794521 per day.
1200 days x $5.794521 = $6,953.43
The Current Version price of $466 is less than that, so we’ll use that to get the license to 2021-12-14, and then regular SSA to get it the rest of the way to 2022-12-31
The SSA price from 2021-12-14 to 2022-12-31 (382 days) is $5.794521 per day x 382 days = $2213.51
The total SSA price for License 1 is: $466.00 + $2,213.51 = $2,679.51
License 2 needs 442 days to get its 6 channels to 2022-12-31
It’s a Professional license, so that’s $30.00 per year x 6 channels = $180.00 per year divided by 365 = $0.4931507 per day.
442 days x $0.4931507 per day = $217.97
The total SSA price for License 2 is: $217.97
License 3 needs 416 days to get its 4 channels to 2022-12-31
It’s also a Professional license, so that’s $30.00 per year x 4 channels = $120.00 per year divided by 365 = $0.3287671 per day.
416 days x $0. 3287671 per day = $136.77
The total SSA price for License 3 is: $136.77
The total SSA price to bring all 3 licenses to 2022-12-31 is: $2,679.51 + $217.97 + $136.77 = $3,034.25
SSA-SYNC uses the aggregate price of the custom SSA for all licenses to determine the SSA-SYNC quantity.
For this example, the aggregate price of custom SSA for all licenses is $3,034.25
We round it down to the nearest hundred: 30.34
We remove any digits to the right of the decimal to arrive at the SSA-SYNC quantity: 30
We then multiply the SSA-SYNC quantity by the SSA-SYNC MSRP of $100.00 to get the price $3,000.00
This saves the customer some money when syncing licenses to the same date. The most you can save per order is $99.99
Sometimes you can only save $1.00 – it depends on what the total aggregate custom SSA price is:
- $3,034.25 saves $34.25
- $3,001.00 saves $1.00
- $3,099.99 saves $99.99
- $3,000.00 saves $0.00
All of the above will produce an SSA-SYNC quantity of 30, which will be $3,000.00 when multiplied by the SSA-SYNC MSRP of $100.00.
