License

AnomalyGuard is licensed by how many data views you define — not by how many people use the product.

What the license limits (and what it does not)

Licensed Not licensed
Number of data views you can create Number of users / seats / named accounts
How many people open Home, filters, API, or CLI
How many filters, comments, or API keys you create

Everyone in the company can use the analyzed data without a per-user license fee. After you sign people in with Microsoft Entra ID and assign them data-view access, the whole organization can consume anomalies on Home, through shared filters, or via API / CLI — under the same Marketplace plan.

You grow the plan when you need more monitoring definitions (more data views), not when more colleagues start reading results.

Plans

Plans come from Azure Marketplace. Each tier sets a maximum number of data views:

Plan Max data views
Start 1
Small Team 5
Growing Team 20
Enterprise Team Unlimited

The limit counts all data views in the system — including drafts that are not yet deployed or enabled. Deleting unused views frees capacity on a limited plan.

The plan is chosen at Marketplace deployment. The data-view cap is not a setting you edit later inside the app (upgrade by changing Marketplace plan / offer).

What “data view” means here

A data view is one monitoring configuration: source query, categories, detectors, and jobs. Example: sales by country and channel is one data view; hotel revenue by region is another. Each consumes one slot toward the plan limit.

Users, filters, and Home screens do not consume license slots.

Enforcement

Action License effect
Create a new data view Blocked when you are already at the plan maximum
Enable an existing data view Allowed (not a license gate)
Save / update an existing data view Allowed (not a license gate)
Load / process jobs May show a warning if the current count is somehow above the plan (for example after a plan change); data is not deleted

If the limit is reached, free a slot by removing a data view you no longer need, or move to a higher Marketplace plan.

Where to see usage

On the Data views list, administrators see a counter when a limit applies, for example 3 from 5.

Check the same information from the CLI or API:

anomalyguard system license --json
Field Meaning
maxActiveDataViews Plan maximum (null = unlimited)
usage.dataViews Current total data view count
usage.activeDataViews Same total count (all views)
