Four packages have a paid tier, each one lifting a default limit rather than unlocking the software: Surveillance Station, MailPlus, Virtual DSM and Virtual Machine Manager Pro. This page covers what every Synology license actually buys, which ones your NAS already includes for free, what each costs today, and which of them you can move to another machine or sell on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SynoPower Club Point:<\/strong> The detail that catches people out is not the price, it is what happens at the end. Camera, MailPlus and Virtual DSM licenses are perpetual, so they keep working forever. VMM Pro is the one genuine subscription here, and when it lapses the advanced features stop while basic VMM carries on. Knowing which of the four behaves which way before you buy is worth more than any discount.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents-block-table-of-contents-block\"><div

various Taiwan factories (In 2006, when I first joined Synology, one of my tasks was to inspect NAS units at these factories).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image

your NAS already include?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All four Synology licenses have a free default tier, and a surprising number of installations never need to go beyond it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Surveillance Station: 2 cameras<\/strong> on a Synology NAS, <strong>4<\/strong> on an NVR-series unit and <strong>8<\/strong> on a Deep Learning NVR (the DVA series). These free licenses stay with the hardware and cannot be migrated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MailPlus: 5 mailboxes.<\/strong> Enough to run a small company&#8217;s mail entirely on the NAS at no additional cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Virtual DSM: 1 instance,<\/strong> on supported models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VMM Pro: a one-month trial.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two of these stack in a way almost nobody notices: a free Virtual DSM instance brings its own 5 free MailPlus accounts, so one NAS running one guest starts with ten mailboxes rather than five. The reverse also holds, and it is less welcome: a Virtual DSM instance running Surveillance Station does <strong>not<\/strong> get the 2 free camera licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"does-synology-require-license\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does Synology require license?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Most Synology software runs at full functionality with no Synology licenses of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four packages are the exception. These require Synology licenses only once the deployment exceeds a default capacity or period:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Surveillance Station<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synology MailPlus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virtual Machine Manager Pro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virtual DSM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presto File Server<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extended Warranty Plus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we need more than the basic default limits, paid Synology licenses expand the capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some paid Synology licenses are perpetual and migratable. If we no longer need them, we can even sell those paid license to others.&nbsp;This is another unique aspect of Synology licensing plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four Synology licenses and what each one actually covers are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"are-synology-licenses-a-subscription\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Synology licenses a subscription?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost never, and it is the most common misunderstanding about Synology licenses. Three of the four Synology licenses are bought once and never billed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Camera Synology licenses: perpetual.<\/strong> No expiry, no renewal, and they move with you to a new NAS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MailPlus Synology licenses: perpetual.<\/strong> Same again, bought once per block of mailboxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Virtual DSM: perpetual, with three years of updates.<\/strong> After three years the instance keeps running; what stops is the supply of feature and security updates until a new key is added. It is not a three-year expiry, which is the way it is most often misread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VMM Pro: genuinely time-limited.<\/strong> This is the one Synology license sold by period. When it lapses the Pro features stop and basic Virtual Machine Manager continues, so nothing is lost, only the advanced capability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DSM itself, and the rest of the package catalogue, need no Synology licenses at all. There is no Synology account tier, no per-user fee for file services, and no charge for software updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"main-synology-license-plans\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Main

id=\"how-to-choose\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose the right Synology license<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four questions settle almost every case. Work through them in this order before buying any Synology licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-howto\" class=\"rank-math-block\" >\n<div class=\"rank-math-howto-description\">\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"rank-math-steps \">\n<div id=\"step-1\" class=\"rank-math-step\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-step-title \">Work out which package you are actually hitting a limit on<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-step-content \"><p>Only four Synology packages have a paid tier. Surveillance Station stops at two cameras, MailPlus at five mailboxes, Virtual DSM at one instance, and VMM Pro runs its advanced features for a month. If nothing you run is bumping one of those ceilings, no Synology licenses are needed at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"step-2\" class=\"rank-math-step\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-step-title \">Count the gap, not the total<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-step-content \"><p>Synology licenses add to the free allowance rather than replacing it. Seven cameras on a standard NAS means five extra channels, not seven, and ten mailboxes means five extra accounts. Getting this wrong is the most common way people overbuy Synology licenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"step-3\" class=\"rank-math-step\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-step-title \">Choose the pack size by where you expect to be, not where you are<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-step-content \"><p>Larger packs carry a lower unit price and they stack, so buying one size up costs less than buying a second small pack later. Check the per-camera and per-mailbox figures in the pricing section above before deciding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"step-4\" class=\"rank-math-step\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-step-title \">Check whether it needs to move later<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-step-content \"><p>Purchased Synology licenses for cameras, MailPlus and Virtual DSM can be migrated to another NAS through your Synology account, and can even be sold on. The free default allowances cannot move. If a hardware refresh is on the horizon, that difference is worth more than a small discount.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about Synology licenses<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does Synology require a subscription?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. DSM and almost every Synology package run with full functionality and no license at all. Four packages have a paid tier that raises a default limit, and of those only VMM Pro is sold by period. Camera, MailPlus and Virtual DSM licenses are one-time purchases that never expire.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which Synology licenses does a new NAS already include?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Two Surveillance Station camera licenses on a NAS, four on an NVR and eight on a Deep Learning NVR, five MailPlus mailboxes, one Virtual DSM instance on supported models, and a one-month trial of VMM Pro. Many installations never exceed these.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can Synology licenses be moved to another NAS?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Purchased camera, MailPlus and Virtual DSM licenses can be migrated to another NAS through your Synology account, and they can even be sold on to someone else. The free allowances that came with the hardware stay with that hardware.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What happens when a Virtual DSM license reaches three years?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The instance keeps running. What ends is the entitlement to feature and security updates until a new key is added. It is three years of updates, not a three-year term, and the distinction matters because the machine does not stop.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What happens when VMM Pro expires?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Pro features stop and basic Virtual Machine Manager continues, so your virtual machines keep running. What you lose is scheduled snapshots, replication and live migration until the license is renewed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do licenses stack?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, in every case. Synology licenses stack with each other and with the free allowance, so a 4-pack plus a 1-pack gives five additional cameras on top of the two you started with. There is no penalty for combining sizes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-7\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is there a Synology license for DSM itself or for extra users?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. DSM carries no license, there is no per-user fee for file services, and software updates are free for the life of the product. The paid tiers exist only for the four packages listed on this page.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-8\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does a Virtual DSM instance get its own free camera licenses?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, and this surprises people.
