Simple licensing query

I was just wondering if the UTM is licensed per user or per device?

  • Per IP address.
    Every IP that is connecting the UTM is counted, so it's more or less per device.

    • XG: HPE DL20 Gen9 (Core i3-7300, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD) | XG 18.0 (Home License) with: Web Protection, Site-to-Site-VPN (IPSec, RED-Tunnel), Remote Access (SSL, HTML5)
    • UTM: 2 vCPUs, 2GB RAM, 50GB vHDD, 2 vNICs on vServer (KVM) | UTM 9.7 (Home License) with: Email Protection, Webserver Protection, RED-Tunnel (server)
  • Per IP address.
    Every IP that is connecting the UTM is counted, so it's more or less per device.


    Be carefull: if you turn on IPv6, IPv6 addresses also are encountered...
  • I have to add that ip used by UTM devices are not counted. Some months ago I noticed that APxx ip addresses and interface addresses are not listed. I don't have any info about RED device.
  • Hi Utmfan,

    Licensing for software ASG/UTM installs is based on IP count. Pretty much everything that goes through the ASG (uses it as a gateway) is counted.

    Hardware is different as there are fixed prices for each tier of hardware but no IP limits. The unit's have suggested protected user counts which are based on testing of the specific platform's capabilities.
  • Cool, thanks for the info! Exactly what I needed to know. :-)
