Enable Bring Your Own License (BYOL)

A customer uses Bring your own license (BYOL) capability, which is being deprecated, to deploy Qualys extension in their VMs. They are questioning about the deprecation, this deprecation implicates the deploy won't be more available, but what happen with the machines already has deployed the Qualys extension? 

Will the extension be removed from machines, since it was deployed via BYOL? Or after deprecated the extension continues working for the already deployed machines?

    Hi AndreyQuinteroGonzalez,

    Even though the BYOL capability for the Qualys extension is being deprecated, it won't automatically remove the extension from the VMs that already have it deployed. The extension should continue to work on those machines without any issue after the deprecation. However, it’s a good idea to plan for an alternative solution or migration in the future, as the feature won’t be supported going forward.

    Regards!
