Licensing FAQ
- I want to monitor N JVMs. How many licenses do I need?
-
You only need one product key.
- I want to set up different perfino server installations for different applications or staging environments.
How many licenses do I need?
-
You need one product key for each perfino installation.
- What happens when my evaluation key expires?
-
The perfino server will continue to run, but all connected JVMs in perfino will be displayed without any
recorded data and a name prefix of [UNLICENSED]. As soon as you add a permanent license key in the
perfino UI, monitoring will start again for all VMs.
- How can I try out my monitoring configuration?
-
The free development license is intended for that purpose. You can choose this installation type in the
installation wizard. Such an installation must not be used for business purposes.
- Are there any platform restrictions?
-
No, perfino can be used on any platform where a HotSpot VM is available.
- Can I redistribute the monitoring agent?
-
Yes, you can redistribute the perfino monitoring agent, so you can monitor VMs that are
running in third party locations. The perfino API is also redistributable.
- What upgrades will I get?
-
Minor upgrades are always free. A major upgrade is free of charge
when it is released during the support period (60 days for a standard license,
1 year for a support package).
