Overview of licensing introduced to the agents
With the introduction of Snare version 5 Agents we're introducing a new licensing model. With this new model, Agent Agents can be licensed in one of two ways:
1) Using our new product, Snare Agent Manager (SAM). SAM enables Agents running on a network to be licensed from a central location. Better yet, SAM doesn't require an internet connection, so that means that even air-gapped environments receive the benefits. By choosing SAM as your Snare licensing tool, you'll not only be able to easily license all your networked Agents but you'll be primed to take advantage of exciting new Agent management features that we're already developing.
2) Or, directly Directly via the Agents web UI management or command line interface.
For those that have Agents on a network and some that are individually air-gapped, don't worry. You're able to mix and match your SAM and standalone licenses to suit your operating environment.

Using Snare Agent Manager
Each SAM feature license issued provides you with an activation allowance for each feature covered by the license. Let's say that you have ordered a license that allows Standard Logging (Audit / Epilog) for 20 Agents. You'll be able to use SAM to distribute this allowance across all version 5 Agents and pre-version 5 Agents. It's important to note that all pre-version 5 Agents detected by SAM that support the given feature will be counted towards to the allowance. OpenSource Agents are not counted towards your allowance.
