View and manage subscriptions

You can view and manage module subscription and license information within your Harness account.

Developer 360 subscriptions

You can subscribe to Harness modules using the Developer 360 subscription model.

This model spans all modules except Cloud Cost Management, which is on a Cloud Spend model.

The following sections explain how this subscription model works across the various modules on the platform.

Who is a developer?

"Developer" means each person who contributes to code development, deployment, security, maintenance, optimization or any other technical activities related to software code, that is managed with Harness.

These users use Harness to create code repositories, build software, test and secure software, deploy software, run chaos experiments, manage SLOs, manage feature flags and more.

The definition of a developer (and the consumption entitlements, if any) remain the same for all plans, namely Free, Startup, and Enterprise.

Modules with direct developer tracking

The following Harness modules are directly involved in a developer's day-to-day workflow. These modules consume a developer license for every developer involved.

• Code Repository (CODE): All users with permission to access Harness CODE module are considered CODE Developers and consume a license.
• Continuous Integration (CI): All users with permission to access Harness CI module are considered CI Developers and consume a license.
• Internal Developer Portal (IDP): All users with permissions to access Harness IDP module are considered IDP Developers and consume a license.
• Software Engineering Insights (SEI): All users read from a configured SCM or Issue Management tool are considered SEI Developers and consume a license.

Modules with no direct developer tracking (consumption entitlements)

All other Harness modules (except CCM) are indirectly involved in a developer's day-to-day workflow, and they track an indirect unit instead of a developer. Harness refers to these indirect units as Consumption Entitlements.

In these cases, the developer license acts as a proxy for granting a predetermined set of consumption entitlements, as explained below.

You can subscribe to more consumption entitlements, if needed, at an additional cost.

Continuous Delivery and GitOps (CD) Services

CD deploys software services onto infrastructure platforms spanning traditional VMs, Kubernetes, public cloud platforms, serverless functions, and other custom deployment targets. A Service is an independent unit of software you track and manage through Harness CD and GitOps. This typically maps to:

• A service in Kubernetes.
• A containerized service on a cloud (such as AWS ECS or Azure ACS or Google Container Engine).
• A VM in the traditional VM-based apps.
• Six serverless functions in serverless environments.

CD tracks Service license consumption instead of Developers. All Service licenses are tracked over a last 30 days active window. For a detailed understanding of CD services and how they are tracked, go to Service licensing for CD.

Feature Flags (FF) Developers and Monthly Active Users (MAUs)

Harness Feature Flags is a feature flag rollout and management module that tracks Developers based on their active engagement with the FF module. FF tracks Developers and MAU license consumption.

Every platform user that actively creates, edits, or deletes a flag or a group is tracked as a FF developer. Monthly Active Users (MAUs) represent the unique users seen every month from one or more client-side applications that evaluate various flags managed by Harness.

Service Reliability Management (SRM) Services

SRM helps manage SLOs/SLIs for various services in an R&D organization. A Service is an independent unit of software you track & manage through Harness SRM. This typically maps to:

• A service in Kubernetes.
• A containerized service on a cloud (such as AWS ECS or Azure ACS or Google Container Engine).
• A VM in the traditional VM-based apps.
• Six serverless functions in serverless environments.

SRM tracks Service license consumption, instead of Developers. All Service licenses are tracked over a last 30 days active window.

Chaos Engineering (CE) Services

CE helps run chaos experiments across various services in an R&D organization, towards the goal of making them resilient . A Service is an independent unit of software you track & manage through Harness CD & GitOps. This typically maps to:

• A service in Kubernetes.
• A containerized service on a cloud (such as AWS ECS or Azure ACS or Google Container Engine).
• A VM in the traditional VM-based apps.
• Six serverless functions in serverless environments.

CE tracks Service license consumption, instead of Developers. All Service licenses are tracked over a last 30 days active window.

Infrastructure as Code Management (IACM) Executions

An IACM Execution is counted as every successful IACM stage execution that uses an Infrastructure Provider's apply command (such as terraform apply) and results in resource changes.

IACM tracks Executions license consumption, instead of Developers.

Security Test Orchestration (STO) Security Scans

A Security Scan is defined as the execution of the STO step within a pipeline. This involves scanning an artifact (referred to as the Target), which can be a Repository, Docker image, or a live application, for security vulnerabilities.

STO tracks Security Scans license consumption, instead of Developers. Security Scans are tracked over a last 30 days active window.

Software Supply Chain Assurance (SSCA) Supply Chain Executions

A Supply Chain Execution is defined as the execution of the SSCA step in a pipeline. Generating SBOMs, enforcing SBOM policies, generating SLSA provenance or verifying SLSA provenance are all counted as unique SSCA steps.

SSCA tracks Supply Chain Executions license consumption, instead of Developers. Supply Chain Executions are tracked over a last 30 days active window.

Included and add-on consumption entitlements

The Developer 360 subscription model includes module-specific consumption entitlements by default.

This means every developer license for a module includes a corresponding consumption entitlement, where applicable.

Additionally, you always have the flexibility to purchase add-on consumption entitlements, as needed.

Included consumption entitlements

Harness Module	Included Consumption Entitlement
Code Repository	Not applicable since Developers are tracked directly
Continuous Integration	Not applicable since Developers are tracked directly
Continuous Delivery & GitOps	1 Service for every 3 Developers
Feature Flags	10K MAUs per Developer per Month
Service Reliability Management	1 Service for every 3 Developers
Chaos Engineering	1 Service for every 3 Developers
Infrastructure as Code Management	120 Executions per Developer per Year
Software Engineering Insights	Not applicable since Developers are tracked directly
Internal Developer Portal	Not applicable since Developers are tracked directly
Security Testing Orchestration	100 Security Scans per Developer per Month
Software Supply Chain Assurance	100 Supply Chain Executions per Developer per Month

Add-on consumption entitlements

For every module where a consumption entitlement applies, you can purchase any number of add-on entitlements.

This means you can purchase more:

• Services for CD, SRM, and CE
• MAUs for Feature Flags
• Executions for IACM
• Security Scans for STO
• Supply Chain Executions for SSCA

Cloud Cost Management (CCM) Cloud Spend

CCM does not follow the Developer 360 subscription model.

Cloud Spend for CCM is licensed as a Monthly/Annual Cloud Spend that is managed and optimized via Harness. This cloud spend is actively tracked in the CCM module experience and tracked against the licensed cloud spend.

View subscriptions

You can view and manage your Harness module subscriptions in your Harness Account Settings.

In your Harness account, go to Account Settings to view which Harness modules you are currently subscribed to. Subscriptions are shown in the Subscribed Modules section on the Overview page. You can select Manage to go to the Subscriptions page.

Subscriptions page

For Developer 360 module subscriptions, the Subscriptions page displays the the developer license count (Developers), as well as the consumption entitlement, depending on the module's licensing unit.

For example, consumption entitlement for CD could include Services or Service Instances.

For module subscriptions not purchased under a Developer 360 subscription, the Subscriptions page displays the License Count for your module-specific license. For example, for CD this is CD Services or CD Service Instances.

Manage subscriptions

You can quickly and securely manage your Harness subscriptions directly through your Harness account any time, including:

• Upgrading your plan.
• Managing payment details and billing admins.
• Viewing license usage data.
• Viewing Harness Cloud build credit usage data.

info

Online subscription management is not available for all modules. If you want to upgrade your subscription for a module that doesn't yet support self-service subscription management, contact the Harness Sales team.
