Subscription Licensing: The Future of Secure File Transfer

South River Technologies will transition to a subscription-only model in 2026. Here’s what it means for you.
Only the license pricing structure is changing — your Titan software, support, and functionality remain the same.

Why Subscription Licensing?

Our subscription model delivers enhanced value while providing the flexibility and predictability modern enterprises demand.

Greater Flexibility

Scale your licensing up or down based on changing business needs without complex procurement cycles.

Predictable Costs

Budget with confidence using consistent annual or monthly payments that eliminate surprise expenses.
j

Always Current

Automatic access to latest features, security updates, and compliance requirements without additional fees.

Enhanced Support

Comprehensive technical support and customer success resources included with every subscription plan.

Add-On Modules

Start with a secure SFTP foundation, then add the capabilities you need—file sharing, encryption, compliance, B2B, and more. Scale functionality on your timeline without costly migrations.

FIPS Compliance

Meet government and enterprise mandates with FIPS-validated crypto. Pair with SFTP to maintain end-to-end compliance.

Advanced Encryption (PGP)

Encrypt files at rest and in exchange workflows. Complements SFTP’s in-transit encryption.

Advanced Authentication (MFA/SSO/ SAML)

Strengthen identity and access control with Google, Microsoft, Email, and SMS authentication.

NEO AI

Ask natural-language questions, accelerate admin tasks, and surface insights across transfers.

High Availability & Scaling

Active-active clustering, automatic failover, load balancing, and horizontal scaling. Eliminate single points of failure and handle growing demand.

Web UI & File Sharing

Browser-based file access, secure link sharing, DropZone for easy uploads, and QuickSend for rapid file distribution. Empower users without requiring SFTP client software.

Popular Combinations

Here’s a preview of common configurations customers will be able to create once the new model launches in 2026.

Security-Ready

SFTP + FIPS + MFA

Share Externally

SFTP + WebUI + ICAP

Encrypt Everything

SFTP + PGP + FIPS

Perpetual Licenses Remain Supported

Your existing perpetual licenses will continue to operate normally.

South River Technologies will continue to provide technical support for existing perpetual customers who are under an active maintenance and support contract.

Pricing & Transition Benefits

Legacy M&S vs Subscription

  • Simplified procurement process
  • Included feature updates
  • Enhanced support tiers
  • Flexible scaling options

How Support Is Calculated

Support for add-ons will be based on your selected modules total:

  • Standard: 25% of module subtotal per year
  • Premium: 50% of module subtotal per year

Example (effective 2026): FIPS + PGP + WebUI = $3,600/yr → Standard Support = $900/yr; Premium = $1,800/yr.
