<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: Available Licenses

Our licenses count by sensors. We define one sensor as one aspect that you monitor on a device.

Three different editions are available.

Freeware Edition

The Freeware Edition is a good solution for starters or for private use:

• Free for personal and commercial use.
• Can monitor up to 100 sensors.
• Supports all available sensors.

If you want to use the Freeware Edition, install the Trial Edition first and get a free trial key. After the trial period has ended, your Trial Edition automatically turns into a Freeware Edition.

This option is not available in PRTG hosted by Paessler.

Trial Edition

The Trial Edition is intended for evaluation purposes:

• Can monitor an unlimited number of sensors.
• Supports all available sensors.

• For PRTG on premises, you have to request the temporary license key from our website. Usually, you see the license details and the key if you click the Free Download button on the Paessler website.
• The trial period of PRTG on premises is limited to 30 days and automatically turns into a Freeware Edition afterward.
• PRTG hosted by Paessler provides a 10-day trial. Afterward, your instance is deleted. Purchase a commercial edition to keep your instance.
• Each PRTG on premises license includes one single failover cluster that consists of two cluster nodes. A cluster with two and three failover nodes requires an additional trial license key. A cluster with four failover nodes requires two additional trial license keys.

After the trial period has ended, a PRTG on premises Trial Edition automatically turns into a Freeware Edition that lets you to monitor up to 100 sensors for free.
