What is PAYG?
PAYG is a usage-based licensing service. Usage is recorded daily, calculated monthly, and billed after each billing month.
Is there a setup fee or minimum usage requirement?
No. There is no setup fee or minimum usage requirement. If there is no license usage during the billing month, there is no PAYG license charge.
Who can activate PAYG?
An eligible Organization Owner or Organization Administrator can activate PAYG after accepting the PAYG Terms and Conditions and completing the required payment setup.
Which PAYG plans are available?
PAYG currently offers:
- Plan 1: Nebula Professional Pack + Gold Security Pack
- Plan 2: Nebula Professional Pack only

Available options may vary depending on the device.
Which devices are eligible for PAYG?
PAYG supports selected Zyxel firewalls, access points, switches, mobile routers, and other supported devices. Eligibility may vary by model and can be checked in the PAYG portal.
How is PAYG usage calculated and billed?
Usage is recorded daily for each device and license. Charges are calculated based on actual usage during the billing month.
When will I be billed?
PAYG is billed monthly in arrears. For online payments, invoices are generally issued around the beginning of the following month.
Where can I review my PAYG usage?
You can review device-level usage, usage details, and applicable licenses in the PAYG Billing History.
What happens if a device already has an active license?
The existing license will generally be used first. PAYG charges for the same license type begin after the existing license expires.
Can I change or stop PAYG after activation?
Yes. You can change the selected PAYG plan or disable PAYG when needed. Please note that disabling PAYG may affect devices that do not have sufficient remaining license coverage.
