EAS initiated

OVS anniversary

OVS expiration
At this juncture, the decision to renew the agreement for another 3 year term or buy out the licenses will need to be made. The alternative is to add on to the EAS, which will only have a balance of 2 years remaining. This will give enough time to evaluate the potential of platform migration and put plans and processes in place to move in that direction. -

The option to renew or buy out the EAS licenses. The buy out rate of the licenses on the EAS vs the OVS is approximately an 8% difference.
The variable here is the state of license agreements and what they will look like at this time. I suspect things will move to a more subscription based model across the board, or some sort of usage based license metric. This is simply my specutlation, and there is no confirmation for this to be the case.
