The Subscriptions page helps you keep track of players on your network. Rather than the BSNEE instance. The BSNEE business model is based around charging users for players, you charge them for subscriptions associated with their players. Each Each player must have a subscription to utilize the network, and each subscription is only valid for a set amount of time. When a subscription expires, the user must pay to renew his or her subscription.
Remember that subscriptions are allotted to an Account a Network Administrator, not to individual user accounts. An Account Administrator users. A Network Administrator may have any number of user accounts users tied to his or her accountnetwork, with any number of networked devices tied to each. Therefore, the amount of subscriptions you give to an Account a Network Administrator is the sum of all devices that are owned by different user accounts users under (and including) that Account Network Administrator.
