vNIOS PayGo Configuration Guidelines


  • PayGo instances cannot be switched to non-PayGo instances.

  • PayGo instances are licensed immediately upon launch, and the licenses remain in force as long as the customer continues to pay for the instance.

  • Downgrades are not allowed for PayGo instances below NIOS 9.0.5.

  • If there are Temporary licenses in cloud-init data, they will be skipped during configuration.

  • Restoring AWS/Azure snapshots, AMIs, or images for PayGo instances is generally not recommended.

  • If a PayGo instance lacks sufficient resources and does not meet the minimum requirements, it will fail to boot into NIOS, and an error message will be displayed on the console.If a PayGo instance does not meet the required CPU or memory specifications, NIOS will fail to start, triggering an error message indicating insufficient resources.

  • If the memory or CPU configuration of a PayGo instance is altered from the original NIOS model, the instance will not start, and an error message regarding a NIOS license mismatch will be triggered on the console.
