Nagios license expiration

Post by grayloglearn »

If nagiosxi license will expire,

Does nagios will stop monitoring?
I have strong feeling nagios will check the remote hosts.
Notifications and tickets will generate right. Pls correct me if am wrong?

Nagios XI is a perpetual license, so it will continue to work, you will however lose the Enterprise Edition functionality if you purchased that addon as well as the ability to perform upgrades.

No, you can renew your license, but you cannot apply the current license to a new install as you will not be able to activate the license

You cannot re-install you license on any new system without active maintenance

Well maintenance for the license, or if you have a backup of the server if could be restored on a server of the same version that the system was running
