Like technical resources, you can add subscription parameters. For example, subscription parameters are needed if you have a seat-based scenario as found when you sell software as a product and you want to bill per license. In this case the subscription parameters would represent the licenses.
To enable this setting, first define a rate element where you use a recurring fee with the data source "Subscription" instead of "None". Then define your rate plan, which should include the recurring fee for licenses. Once you assign the rate plan to the product, the system will prompt you to add the defined subscription parameters to your product. If you create a subscription with a product that includes subscription parameters, you can enter an amount for the subscription parameters, which represents the number of licenses in the example above.
Summary
Just remember that subscription parameters are values on item level that you can use to configure the product that the customer purchased, such as the number of licenses bought for a software product. Now let’s look at some subscription terms that let you define the general rules for cancellations, durations, and renewal of subscriptions to a product.
