Nagios CSP promotion

[kuchenmann]

Ok, after installing Nagios Core 4.5.7 I had to see the big promotion for Nagios-CSP.
But what is the "Promotional License Key" good for?
Trying with trial it is not accepted. And for enterprise you need much more than this key.
And free is free without key...
And it is absolutely not intuitiv.
I remember when I first tried PRTG. This was really impressing.
After auto-discovery I found my hosts.
In Nagios-CSP (XI) I tried auto-discovery and now I'm still wondering where the hosts are?

Hi @kuchenmann,

The CSP version of XI will get you a personal version of a 50-node XI with Enterprise features. It will be released soon.

I see that the Nagios CSP release is available, so I downloaded and installed it.

Which license type should I use for the CSP version? I can pick either Trial, Licensed, or Free - I assume that there is a special CSP license that I need to use.

Use the Licensed license. The key is "CSP50". Have fun!

Well, I found it there:
http://ip-address/nagiosxi/admin/?xiwindow=license.php
and entered the key: 25YEARSOFNAGIOS!

But it is still not clear, what does "Upgrade to a commercial license with professional support for as little as $199!" mean?
50-Node $199
200-Node $499
Unlimited Node $999
Is this the price for one month, one year, forever?

This license key is working, thanks!

Use the Licensed license. The key is "CSP50". Have fun!

I can only speak to one of the benefits of the license - which would be professional support. With the standard CSP license, you won't have any support entitlements available to you, should you need help with your system; you're on your own. If I learn more specifics I'll post back here.
