# Byol model

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

1. **During ordering**, specify the enterprise OS or platform you need
2. **DigitalFyre installs** the software as part of provisioning
3. **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.
