Unlock the Power of Nagios XI: Premium Features Explained
Understanding Premium Features in Nagios XI
Premium Features in Nagios XI are a collection of features and wizards that are tied to having active License Benefits (Maintenance & Support).
Maintenance
Maintenance benefits provide you with the ability to upgrade your installation with the latest version releases, features, and bug fixes, giving you the tools to ensure your environment remains safe and secure.
Support
Support benefits gives you access to our commercial Support portal the Nagios Answer Hub and Case Support within it.
Why is this important?
When you purchase a Nagios license, it comes with License Benefits for the first year. Thereafter, you have the option to renew the License Benefits on an annual or multi-year basis. Our licensing is perpetual by nature, meaning that if you do not renew, the standard functionality of the software continues to function at whatever version you were on upon expiry. However, you would not have continued access to the Maintenance & Support benefits described above! Including the Premium Feature set in XI.
To ensure continued access to these Premium Features and all the latest and greatest updates, we suggest you renew your Nagios XI license benefits annually. In the event that your license benefits expire, simply renew, and the full list of Premium Features will regain functionality automatically.
If you recently purchased or renewed an XI license, you automatically have access to these features. Simply upgrade to XI version 2024R2 or newer and enjoy!
If you have questions about how our licensing works, please contact [email protected].
