Question about licensing and stuff for jhynds and everyone really...

We're using LEM/SEM on some of our networks right now.  We're wanting to standardize on LEM/SEM but the licensing is maybe an issue.  I have many isolated enclave that are small.  It doesn't make sense for small networks with maybe 5 machines on it to have 5k$ instance.  Suppose I have many of these.  Is there a way solarwinds can do a quantity discount on small licenses all grouped together so I can standardize on it?  Does solarwinds ever do like MS and other big companies and offer selling a large number of nodes and let me divide it up how I see fit?  Could I then do a true up each year and be subject to audit any time?  This could be a lot of business for SW but I'm concerned it might not be possible because of mass of small enclaves I have.  I hope there's a way to make this work somehow?

Thanks,

Bill

  • Hey Bill! We don't currently offer a large license that you can divide between multiple SEM appliances, each license is bound to a single SEM appliance. However, I can certainly discuss your situation with your Account Manager in an effort to find a solution for you. Will reach out privately to discuss further.
