Azure SaaS Marketplace
Use and licensing of the Xorble Key Key Storage Provider is managed through the Azure Marketplace. You will need to go to the Azure Portal, sign up for the Xorble SaaS marketplace offering and this will create a Subscription to the Offer. Once when a Subscription to this Offer has been created, the Xorble licensing service is able to collect billing information and license use of the KSP.
After setting up your subscription to the Xorble SaaS Offer for the KSP, you can see billing information in the Xorble SaaS portal at https://xorblesaas-portal.azurewebsites.net
Licensing of the KSP is provided by an Azure marketplace-based billing service where consumption is directly billed via your normal Azure billing mechanisms.
Use of the KSP is metered every hour with pricing based on the number of logical processors (vCores), RAM and whether Certificate Sevrices and NDES are installed. Telemetry is collected approximately every 30 minutes and recorded with an hourly granularity for billing purposes. Telemetry includes the Entra tenant Id, client Id, client version, processor architecture, number of logical processors (vCores), total RAM (MB) and whether Certificate Serviecs and NDES are installed.
The KSP is metered and licensed using REST API calls to a URL https://xorblekvksplicensingapp.azurewebsites.net and this URL must be allowed outbound for the KSP to function.
