Licensing question

Post by hbouma »

We are in the process of having to upgrade our Nagios XI servers from RHEL 7 to RHEL 8. My concern is that we will run out of available licenses as we start setting up the new servers.

How can we work to prevent this upgrade process from consuming all our licenses?

We encourage you to go through this process with Test servers. You should create an environment that reflects
your Prod environment as closely as possible. Then go through the upgrade. Our licensing agreement allows
you to do this.
Nagios XI License Policy
With every purchase we offer 3 separate activation of XI licenses. One for production, one for testing, and one for
high availability. We always recommend upgrading on a test server first before making changes to the production server.
