Information:LevelBlue licenses its AppDetectivePRO and DbProtect products based on the number and type of databases. In the realm of structured and unstructured databases that can be deployed in standalone, SaaS, or PaaS architecture, the interpretation of a single licensed entity varies. The interpretation of a “unique database” is based on the boundary of a given database or datastore that allows for customization of security, configuration, patching and other variances.
