Documentation forIP Address Manager
Managing IP addresses is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. IP Address Manager (IPAM) is also available in a standalone module.

License IPAM products

SolarWinds SolarWinds Platform products use the web-based License Manager to license products, Additional Polling Engines (APE), Additional Web Servers (AWS), and High Availability (HA) pools.

IPAM products support both perpetual licenses and subscription licenses. See License types in the IPAM help for details.

Your main SolarWinds server acts as a licensing server. It cannot be down for more that 14 days or your licenses may be invalidated.

Click Settings > All Settings, scroll down, and click License Manager in the Details grouping to view and manage your licenses.

The web-based License Manager replaces the stand-alone License Manager in IPAM products. If you have upgraded from a previous version of your IPAM product, you can still use the stand-alone Windows version for IPAM 2016.2 and lower. New installs use the web-based License Manager only. If you have upgraded to the new web-based License Manager, SolarWinds recommends that you uninstall the standalone version.
