# License consumption and alerts

## Overview

**License consumption** in Turbo360 gives you visibility into how your organization is using its purchased limits across all modules. You can view real-time usage, manage your subscription period, and configure alerts to notify your team before limits are reached.

### Business value

Tracking license consumption helps you avoid service interruptions caused by exceeding purchased limits. Proactive consumption alerts give your team time to upgrade before thresholds are breached, keeping all modules operational without unplanned downtime.

## Prerequisites

- Active Turbo360 account with a purchased subscription.
- At least one notification channel configured to receive consumption alerts.

### Required permissions

- Account owner role in Turbo360.

### Dependencies

- Notification channels must be configured before consumption alerts can deliver notifications.

## How it works

The **License consumption** section shows your organization's usage against the purchased limits for each Turbo360 module. Turbo360 tracks consumption continuously and compares it against your subscription entitlements.

When consumption approaches configured thresholds, Turbo360 sends notifications to all configured notification channels. This applies to Azure cost consumption and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) event consumption.

Your subscription remains active for the duration of the period you purchased. You can extend or upgrade your subscription at any time; you do not need to wait for the current period to expire.

## Licensing plans

Turbo360 offers five licensing plans based on your organization's Azure spend. Each plan includes dedicated resource limits for each module.

| Plan | Azure spend |
| --- | --- |
| Azure Beginner | Up to $10,000 |
| Azure Lite | $10,000 – $20,000 |
| Azure Growth | $20,000 – $50,000 |
| Azure Pro | $50,000 – $250,000 |
| Azure Enterprise | $250,000 – $500,000 |

You can choose any plan for each module independently during purchase or upgrade, based on your usage requirements.

## Steps

### View license consumption

Viewing license consumption shows how much of your purchased limits each module has used in the current period.

1. Click the **Settings icon** at the top of the Turbo360 portal.
2. Select **License consumption** from the navigation menu.
3. Review the consumption values for each module against their purchased limits.

### Extend or upgrade your license

Extending or upgrading your license increases available limits before the current period expires.

1. In the **License consumption** section, click **Contact Sales** to submit an upgrade request to the Turbo360 Sales team, or click **Upgrade** to upgrade your license directly.

### Configure consumption alerts

Configuring consumption alerts notifies your team when module usage approaches your purchased limits.

1. In the **License consumption** section, navigate to the alerts configuration area.
2. Set the consumption threshold at which you want to receive notifications.
3. Save the configuration.

Turbo360 sends notifications to all configured notification channels when the threshold is reached.

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Default | Required | Description | Allowed values |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Business Applications threshold | Numeric | 0 | No | The cost per month value at which a consumption alert is triggered for Business Applications. The available limit is shown alongside the field. | 0 to available cost limit |
| Business Activity Monitoring threshold | Numeric | 0 | No | The events per month value at which a consumption alert is triggered for Business Activity Monitoring. The available limit is shown alongside the field. | 0 to available events limit |
| Azure Documenter threshold | Numeric | 0 | No | The cost per month value at which a consumption alert is triggered for Azure Documenter. The available limit is shown alongside the field. | 0 to available cost limit |
| Cost Analyzer threshold | Numeric | 0 | No | The cost per month value at which a consumption alert is triggered for Cost Analyzer. The available limit is shown alongside the field. | 0 to available cost limit |
| Notification channels | Multi-select | None | Yes | The notification channels that receive consumption alert notifications. | Any configured notification channel |

## Permission behavior

**With access:** You can view consumption data for all modules, configure consumption alerts, and initiate license upgrade or contact sales requests.

**Without access:** Users without the required permissions cannot access **Settings > License consumption**.

## Example scenario

Your organization has purchased a Turbo360 subscription that includes a limit on BAM events. As usage grows, you configure a consumption alert at 80% of the BAM events limit. When consumption reaches that threshold, all configured notification channels such as Teams and email receive an alert. Your team reviews the usage and initiates an upgrade before the limit is reached, avoiding any disruption to BAM monitoring.

## Limitations

- Consumption alerts are supported for Azure cost consumption and BAM events consumption only. Other module consumption types do not currently support alert configuration.
- Notifications are delivered to all configured notification channels simultaneously. You cannot target specific channels per alert threshold.
- The subscription period cannot be reduced after purchase. You can only extend or upgrade.

## Troubleshooting

1. **Consumption data is not updating.** Cause: There may be a delay in usage data ingestion from Azure or BAM. Fix: Wait a few minutes and refresh the **License consumption** page. If data remains stale, contact Turbo360 support.
2. **Consumption alert notifications are not being received.** Cause: No notification channels are configured, or the configured channels have connectivity issues. Fix: Verify that at least one notification channel is active and correctly configured. Navigate to **Settings > Notification channels** and test the channel connection.
3. **Upgrade option is not visible.** Cause: The account may not have the required permissions to initiate an upgrade, or the option is restricted to the Account owner role. Fix: Contact your Turbo360 administrator to verify your role. Only users with the Account owner role can access upgrade and contact sales options.
4. **Contact sales request was submitted but no response received.** Cause: The request may have been sent outside business hours or the email was filtered. Fix: Allow one business day for a response. If no reply is received, contact Turbo360 support directly through the support portal.
5. **License consumption section is not visible in Settings.** Cause: The user account does not have the Account owner role required to access the License consumption section. Fix: Contact your Turbo360 administrator to request access or verify your role assignment.

## FAQs

1. **Can I upgrade my license before the current period expires?** Yes. You can extend or upgrade your Turbo360 subscription at any time by using the **Upgrade** option or contacting the Sales team via **Contact sales** in the **License consumption** screen.
2. **Which modules are tracked in License consumption?** License consumption tracks usage against purchased limits for all Turbo360 modules. The resource limits available for each module depend on your licensing plan. Each plan from Azure Beginner to Azure Enterprise includes dedicated resource limits per module based on your Azure spend tier.
3. **Can I configure different alert thresholds for different modules?** Yes. You can configure different thresholds for each module in a single configuration.
