AliveMon licensing is straight-forward, but it still deserves a little
explanation.
If you want to use AliveMon for more than 30 days, then you need to think about
licensing. It's easy: a license is required for each machine being monitored.
We have license packages, each providing a number of licenses, for example 5 or
10. When you add a license pack to the product, it will enable that number of
remote machines. I need to monitor more than that number, you can simply add
additional license packs. They are cumulative. So, for example, if you would
like to monitor 15 machines, you can purchase a 5 and a 10 license pack. By the
way: if you add more machines than you have purchased license, the excess
machines are simply disabled. The rest will work wonderfully, so there is no
risk in doing that (except, of course, that the excess machines are not
monitored).
Now there is one thing to keep in mind: a license pack can legally only be
applied to a single installation of AliveMon. It is not permitted to install
the same license pack on multiple instances. So, for example, if you have two
computers each running AliveMon and both of these computers shall monitor 5
machines, you need to purchase two 5-machine license packs. Please note that it
is not relevant if these two computers are monitoring the same set of machines
or two totally different sets. If both of them monitor multiple machines, both
of them must have separate license packs.
