What Snare Products Require A License?
Snare Enterprise Agents
All Snare Enterprise Agents from version 5 onwards require a license issued by Intersect Alliance. Snare Enterprise Agents can be licensed using SAM or by the installation of a standalone license. Evaluation licenses can be obtained via intersectalliance.com or by logging into your Snare License and Download Manager (SLDM) account. Full licenses can be obtained by logging into your SLDM account or from your Partner (if applicable).
Snare Enterprise Agents (excluding OpenSource) prior to version 5 do not require the installation of a license to function however operating such an Agent without an expliced agreement with Intersect Alliance or a Partner is a violation of the Snare Enterprise Agents End User License Agreement (EULA). Besides, when using legacy versions of the Agent won't be able to enjoy the latest and greatest features that the Agents have to offer.
