OnDemand Services provides full usage tracking support for thin-client and desktop applications. You can track both the number of times (per-use) and the number of minutes (per-minute) a thin-client or desktop application is used.
OnDemand Services provides partial usage tracking support for Web applications. You can track per-use but not per-minute usage.
Because per-minute usage is not supported for Web applications, you should not include Web applications in any package whose usage-based pricing scheme is reliant on tracking time that the application is open. The Actual Time and Pay-As-You-Go pricing schemes fall into this category. The following table summarizes the application types and the package pricing schemes you can use with packages that contain those application types.

* You can actually include Web applications in packages that use these pricing schemes. With Actual Time, however, using the package's Web applications will not increment the time accrued; only thin-client and desktop applications included in the package will increment the time. With Pay-As-You-Go, use of the package's Web applications will be free; only thin-client and desktop applications included in the package will be charged a per-minute usage fee.
