One is the standard license and advanced license.
The standard license is $0.
$0, in other words, it's free and does not require any license key.
Customer just has to download the product and use it.
By default, the standard license is burnt into the product and, you know, it's just available.
However, with that standard license, customer gets, you know, predefined service definitions and automatic provisioning, and then, and also, you know, be able to do, remember, Evan talked about adaptive cures, even that's also shipped with the standard license in the product.
However, certain customers, they do want to customize the service level, and they would like to have a stronger conformance checking.
So these capabilities, the customization and then conformance checking for their workloads, these require advanced licenses.
And advanced license is licensed by capacity, raw capacity.
So we price it by dollar per terabyte.
So customer can, based on their requirement, they can try out the standard license and they like it and they would like to extend it.
They can always reach out to NetApp sales and SE team and go for an advanced license.
As I said, you know, we've licensed it by dollar per terabyte based on draw capacity.
I think Justin and, you know, if you have been to Insight last year, and if you have seen the center stage demo where you must have seen, you know, they're using Snap Center, Backup to Cloud, and Restore.
And if you look at it, you know, they use SAP Center UI to do this, but behind the scenes is actually SLM is the one who made that happen.
You know, SLM provides, as Amit was saying, protection services there, and it enables a seamless data movement from FaaS system to AltaWarp to AWS S3 buckets and restoring it back.
All those things, that seamless data movement is done by SLM.
So it exposes simple, easy-to-use APIs, and then Snap Center invokes those APIs and be able to inject a file or a snapshot into AWS and restore it back.
So, in fact, if you look at it, right, it seamlessly blends into our data fabric vision.
