NTA licensing
Licensing for NTA follows the license level of your NPM installation. For example, if you have an NPM license for SL250, your SolarWinds NTA license is also SL250. For more information on NPM licenses, see NPM licensing model.
When upgrading licenses, the license levels must match. For example, when you upgrade an NPM SL250 license to SL500, you must upgrade your SolarWinds NTA license to SL500.
The following types of NTA licenses are available:
| License | Number of monitored elements |
|---|---|
| SL100 | Up to 100 nodes and 100 interfaces. |
| SL250 | Up to 250 nodes and 250 interfaces. |
| SL500 | Up to 500 nodes and 500 interfaces. |
| SL2000 | Up to 2000 nodes and 2000 interfaces. |
| SLX | Virtually unlimited number of elements. With the default polling interval, one polling engine can monitor a maximum of 12,000 elements. To monitor over 12,000 elements, use additional polling engines (APEs). Each APE requires a license. |
- Nodes: any devices being monitored, such as routers, switches, virtual and physical servers, access points, and modems.
- Interfaces: any single points of network traffic, such as switch ports, physical interfaces, virtual interfaces, sub-interfaces, and VLANs.
