With the quarterly reconciliation process, if you add users in the third quarter of your subscription term, for example,
you only pay 25% of what you would have paid previously. This calculation results in substantial savings.
Quarterly reconciliation can result in substantial savings.
Let's say in January you purchased an annual license for 100 users. This chart shows your usage during the year.
The number of users went up and down, with 120 as the maximum. The dark purple indicates the most users you had each quarter.

If you are being billed annually:
-
During the year, you went over the license by 20 users.
-
If we pretend each extra seat is $100, then you pay $100 x 20 users.
Annual total:
**$2000**
If you are being billed quarterly, you pay for the maximum number of seats you used during the quarter,
and for only the remaining quarters.
Using the same example, if a seat is $100 per year, then it is $25 per quarter.
-
In Q1, you had a maximum of 110 users. 10 users over license x $25 per user x 3 quarters =
**$750**
The license is now paid for 110 users.
-
In Q2, 105 users was the maximum. You did not go over 110 users, so no charge.
-
In Q3, you had 120 users. 10 users over license x $25 per user x 2 quarters =
**$500**
The license is now paid for 120 users.
-
In Q4, you had 120 users. You did not go over 120 users, so no charge.
Annual total:
**$1250**
With quarterly reconciliation, you pay less annually.
If it's not possible for you to participate in quarterly reconciliations, you can opt out of the
process by using a contract amendment. In that case, you default to the annual review.
