Unica Deliver License

Deliver license uses the Email Messages Sent record to calculate the usage. An Email Messages Sent is defined as:

Email Messages Sent

Email Messages Sent is a measuring unit by which the HCL Unica Deliver email usage can be obtained. Email Messages include any email sent through HCL Unica Deliver such as a transactional or an email sent in a batch.

An Email Message is an electronic communication sent through the HCL Unica Deliver. Sufficient entitlements must be obtained to cover the estimated number of emails to be sent during the contractual term specified in a Proof of Entitlement or Order. When actual usage is above or below the estimated usage, then renegotiation of the Order will be required at the time of renewal for the following term to account for any disparity. For more details, refer Deliver Service Description Document

Unica Deliver entitlement is calculated as:

  • Emails sent using Deliver are tracked on a monthly/yearly basis.
  • 1 email send using Deliver is counted as 1 entitlement.
  • Users are entitled to 1 million Unica Deliver Email Message per month, that can be carried forward from one month to another within a year.
  • Users are entitled to 12 M Unica Deliver Email Message every year.
  • Five types of mails are counted are Production mails, Test mail, Schedule mails, Bounce mails and TMS.

Based on Partner models deliver licenses are of two types Referral and Reseller.

Partner Models (Referral vs Reseller)

    • Price changer notifications updated at term renewal time (annually).
    • Preferred for deals were the customer prefers a single contract.

RML SMS Reseller

Starting 12.1.6, SMS RML Reseller consumption counts will be updated every 24 Hrs. If we send SMS now, consumption counts will be updated within 24 Hrs and can be seen on the OP Platform license details page. As RML API provides an accurate count considering all message parts in case of lengthy SMS, we may see a consumption count more than the number of SMS sent by the user.
Note: If the OP version is less than 12.1.6 and the OD version is 12.1.6 or greater, then the application can calculate the correct SMS consumptions count starting from the upgrade date. Past consumption counts cannot be corrected.

DeliverMX Push

Starting from 25.1.0.1, DeliverMX Push consumption counts will be updated every 24 Hrs. If we send Push now, consumption counts will be updated within 24 Hrs and can be seen on the OP Platform license details page.
Note: The OP version must be 25.1.0.1 for DeliverMX Push licensing calculations.
