Accepted Answer

Yes. NYLOS can be deployed on-premise, in a private cloud or hybrid mode, with offline-tolerant clients that sync once connectivity returns — designed for Ethiopian network realities.

Question 13

How is the software licensed — per user or per module?

Accepted Answer

Both. You pay for the modules you activate and the named users who access them, so you only invest in what you actually use.
