Offline Licensing

Post by floki »

Can ask if I can use Licenses & Activate them on two different offline nagios log servers? Thanks :)
Also, what's the effect of not activating the License on an offline nagios log server? Thanks a lot

Offline instances can be activated by going to Admin > General > Global Settings, clicking Activate now, and then the "manually active your license link" which directs you to go to https://www.nagios.com/activate/. You'll get an activation key that can then be entered on the NLS instance. A license is needed per cluster - if machines are clustered then you only have to apply & active the license to one of the machines in the cluster.

NLS will not work if a license is entered but not activated. If you don't enter a license then NLS will work but using the limited trial time of 60 days. There is also the FREE license with notable limitations of a 500mb/day and no clustering.

Ohh noted. Thanks for clarifying. We ordered like 8 Licenses. 4 for clustered Servers and 4 for single instance. There's another 4 singe instance in our training network but I guess we will just gonna use the Free License. Thanks a lot!
