Licences for HA Orion Cluster

Question

Hi. I'm going to deploy HA Solarwinds Orion Cluster, so I have a questions about licensing.

I want to create MPE Primary + MPE Secondary (Failover) installation with one VIP.
This means I need two same licences for Solarwind Orion (Primary + Secondary) plus one HA licence to join both servers to HA, - am I right?

Okay, got it.

What if I want to deploy APE HA Cluster (not MPE), what licences do I need?

Found nothing about APE HA Solution.

You just purchase a HA licence for the secondary server. You install using the installer and select Scalability. Once installed. You go to licence manager within the web console and assign the HA licence.

We run a similar setup except we also have APE's and we have all of our products licensed on our primary servers (NPM,MCM,IPAM etc) and a HA licenses for our failover servers.

So in you instance you would license all of your modules on the primary server and just buy a HA license for your failover server, you don't need to license both Primary / Failover servers AND buy a HA License.

The HA license takes care of the licensing on the failover server.
