ASTER License ROI: How Quickly Does It Pay for Itself?

A Paid License That Pays Back Fast
ASTER is a paid software solution, but its cost is quickly recovered through real savings.
When evaluating total cost of ownership, ASTER proves to be highly cost-effective.
Hardware Cost Savings
Using ASTER allows you to:
- buy one PC instead of two or three
- reduce spending on system units and components
- lower maintenance and repair costs
In many cases, the cost of just one avoided PC purchase already exceeds the price of the ASTER license.
Long-Term Electricity Savings
Another important advantage is reduced power consumption:
- one computer consumes far less electricity than multiple systems
- lower energy bills month after month
- reduced cooling and infrastructure load
In practice, electricity savings alone can fully cover the ASTER license cost in about six months.
Long-Term Financial Benefits
After the license pays for itself:
- monthly operating costs remain lower
- no recurring license fees
- savings continue for the entire hardware lifecycle
ASTER is not an expense — it is a long-term investment in efficiency.
