Windows BYOL Licensing Model - DigitalFyre Knowledge Base

DigitalFyre supports enterprise-grade operating systems and platforms on bare metal servers under a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model. DigitalFyre installs the software — you are responsible for providing and applying your own license.

How It Works

During ordering, specify the enterprise OS or platform you need
DigitalFyre installs the software as part of provisioning
You apply your license after delivery, using the vendor’s activation process

Platforms Requiring BYOL

Platform	License Responsibility
Windows Server	Customer provides and activates license key
RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)	Customer provides subscription and registers with Red Hat
VMware ESXi	Customer provides and applies vSphere license
Proxmox VE	Customer purchases Proxmox subscription if desired (Proxmox runs without a paid license but displays a subscription notice)

License Compliance

You are fully responsible for maintaining valid licenses for any commercial software running on your server. DigitalFyre does not provide, resell, or manage third-party software licenses. If a vendor contacts DigitalFyre regarding unlicensed software on your server, you will be notified and expected to resolve the compliance issue.
