With the start of 2014 you can look forward to two new licenses of your favorite network monitoring software. This of course is not the result of a spontaneous New Year's resolution, but a well planned step, which we hope will benefit your usage of PRTG Network Monitor not only in 2014, but also in the years to come.
If you ask yourself how we came up with the new licenses, the answer is pretty simple: We asked you, our customers. As you use PRTG every single day, you know best how many sensors you need to cover a specific monitoring scenario. That's why we strongly believe in our fair 'by sensors' pricing model as you only pay for what you want to monitor and don't have to consider any additional costs.
Our first goal was to introduce a license that reduces the gap between the PRTG 2500 sensor license and the PRTG Unlimited license. When we asked our customers, which license size they'd prefer in-between those two, the most frequently given answer was "a PRTG license with 5000 sensors". After an intense planning and implementation phase, you can now purchase the two new licenses: PRTG 5000 and PRTG Corporate 5 Core Global.
The second new license results from repeated requests we received over the last few years. Our customers love the PRTG Corporate Country (formally known as PRTG Corporate) license, which allows you to install multiple core servers in different sites of one corporation - as long as they are all located in one country. The new PRTG Corporate 5 Core Global license removes this limitation and allows you to install up to 5 core servers in different sites of one corporation in different countries world wide.

To decide which license is the right one for you, just take a comprehensive look at your network, all of its components, and all the data you'll need to monitor. If you haven't used PRTG before, we recommend downloading the fully functional 30-days-trial license, which will help you to determine how many sensors you're actually going to need.
Together with the new licenses, we've also adjusted the prices for PRTG. These new prices not only reflect new features and improvements, but the effort and ingenuity we put into PRTG every day to enhance your network monitoring experience.
