Understanding Autoscale License Packages

cPanel Partners have access to Autoscale License packages that dynamically scale to match your server’s account usage. These packages are available in two types: Autoscale Metal for dedicated servers, and Autoscale Cloud for virtualized or cloud environments.

Autoscale Metal vs. Autoscale Cloud

Package	Description
Autoscale Metal	Designed for physical dedicated servers.
Autoscale Cloud	Intended for VPS or Cloud environments.

Autoscale Cloud

The Autoscale Cloud (Internal) license automatically adjusts to match your account usage on a VPS or cloud server. This helps partners avoid manual upgrades as server needs grow.

cPanel Cloud License Tiers for Partners

License Type	Account Range
cPanel Admin Cloud	2–5 accounts
cPanel Pro Cloud	6–30 accounts
cPanel Plus Cloud	31–50 accounts
cPanel Premier Cloud	100+ accounts

Note: Using an Autoscale Metal license on a cloud or VPS server will not autoscale. Instead, you will be billed for a Premier Metal license. To update your license type, visit the Add License interface in Manage2.
