WPM Licensed by Recording or Transaction?

I believe when I first purchased the product as SEUM, the product was licensed by Transaction. Now I see WPM is licensed by Recording. Is this a change in licensing? If I have a single recording that I run from three players, does that count as 1 license or 3? Either way, Solarwinds should get some consistency of terminology. If I check my license usage in WPM it says "Transactions". But If I go to buy more licenses, I'm buying Recordings. I suppose I'm used to a little more precision from my favorite software vendor.

Hello kahmeelyon,

nothing changed in WPM regarding licensing model. It is still licensed per transaction. Where do you see "Recording" term? On Customer Portal?

The term "Recording" is used on Solarwind's online store and the term "Transaction" is used in the product itself. Very confusing!!!

WPM is licensed by Transactions. A transaction is a Recording assigned to a Player/ I would agree the SolarWinds website as pictured above is confusing at best, and inaccurate at worst. I'll see that we get this addressed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
