- Statement
- Pooled capacity comprises a common bandwidth and instance pool hosted on NetScaler Console. Each NetScaler instance checks out one instance license and only as much bandwidth as it needs; the license file and bandwidth are not bound to the instance; when no longer required, resources are checked back into the common pool. Flexed licensing includes software instance licenses (VPX/CPX/BLX, SDX, MPX, VPX FIPS) and bandwidth capacity licenses; bandwidth may be increased or decreased at run time; for Flexed, additional bandwidth is only in multiples of 10 Mbps. A single NetScaler CPX consuming up to 1 Gbps throughput checks out only 1 instance and no bandwidth from the license pool. Product specific terms: under the Pooled Capacity model, purchased instances and throughput may be deployed on zero-capacity physical appliances or VPX/CPX in infrastructure or supported public clouds.

- Applies to
- NetScaler VPX/CPX/BLX software instances (and related Flexed/Pooled bandwidth pools); MPX/SDX as zero-capacity checkout targets where documented
