A RSyslog Windows Agent license covers the installation of one system. RSyslog Windows Agent comes in several editions, only the Enterprise Version is permitting the Syslog Listener Service. The RSyslog Windows Agent Enterprise Edition permits you to receive messages from an unlimited number of devices. Please note that instances of Adiscon’s EventReporter and/or RSyslog Windows Agent do NOT count against the remote device count. So you may use a RSyslog Windows Agent Server Professional edition to receive data from 500 servers with Adiscon EventReporter installed on them.

5. Licensed remote file monitor Clients

RSyslog Windows Agent can be used to monitor text files on remote systems. This remote monitoring requires a proper license. RSyslog Windows Agent comes in several editions, each of them permitting remote file monitoring for a different number of remote systems, You must purchase the edition of RSyslog Windows Agent that reflects the number of different remote systems being monitored by RSyslog Windows Agent. The RSyslog Windows Agent Basic Edition does not permit you to monitor files locally or on remote systems. The RSyslog Windows Agent Professional Edition permits you to monitor files locally and on up to 10 remote systems. The RSyslog Windows Agent Enterprise Edition permits you to monitor files on an unlimited number of remote systems.

Please note that only the number of remote systems counts toward the license. So if you monitor 50 files on a single remote system, this counts as a single license. If you monitor a single file on each one of 50 remote systems, than this counts as 50 licenses.

6. Licensed remote event log monitor clients

RSyslog Windows Agent can be used to monitor Windows event logs on remote computers. A full RSyslog Windows Agent license is required for each remote computer on which Windows event logs are being monitored. Technically, the product might count licenses based on the number of remote event log monitors configured. In such cases, a license is required for each remote event log monitor configured.

7. Product Editions

A specific edition of the RSyslog Windows Agent product is licensed. Only the specifically licensed version may be used. For example, if a RSyslog Windows Agent Basic Edition is licensed, features of the Professional edition may not be used. The license keys are also technically different, that is a Basic edition license key is technically different from a Professional Edition license key. Thus, a Basic edition license key can not be used to unlock Professional features.
