The VQManager software both the Professional and Distributed Editions are available for download.
The VQManager website will have the latest updated .exe and .bin files at http://www.manageengine.com/products/vqmanager/download.html
You can try VQManager software (either Professional or Distributed Edition) for free for 30 days without any limitation.
During your evaluation of the trial period, you can avail support from the VQManager team through the mail alias vqmanager-support@manageengine.com.
If you are evaluating Professional Edition, after 30 days, the product will automatically downgrade to a Free Edition. This is again a fully functional VQManager product, but with the ability to monitor a maximum of only 10 Endpoints. The Free Edition does not have any expiry time period but does not entitle to any support from the VQManager support team. You can either use it as a Free edition or purchase the Professional Edition license to continue further.
Commercially, the VQManager product is available as Professional and
Distributed Editions. Professional Edition is for small and medium
enterpries, whereas Distributed Edition is for Large Enterprises and
Service Providers having multiple VLANs in a single location or
geographically distributed VoIP deployments.
VQManager licenses can be purchased based on:
The number of IP phones / End points needs to be monitored
The number of concurrent VoIP calls (simultaneous calls at any instant) in the network
Refer to the "Monitored
Endpoints" section for more on how VQManager identifies unique
Endpoints and IP phones for the purpose of licensing. This licensing is
available both as an annual subscription and as a one-time purchase. In
'Concurrent
calls' based licensing the number of simultaneous active calls
captured by VQManager at any point of time. The 'Concurrent calls'
based license is meant only for Service Provider customers who offer
VoIP monitoring service to their end-user customers.
Download the AdventNetLicense.xml file that has been mailed by our Sales team.
In the web client click on the License link available on the top.
Click Browse button to upload the license.
Click Upgrade button.
Note: VQManager stops monitoring the concurrent calls / IP Phones / Endpoints beyond the license limit. The same is displayed as an error message in the web client. |
In Distributed Edition, you have to apply the license file only on the Central Server. The Probes automatically download the license and upgrade themselves. To apply the license:
Download the AdventNetLicense.xml file that has been mailed by our Sales team.
In the Central Server web client click on the License link available on the top.
Click Browse button to upload the license.
Click Upgrade button.
Once you apply the license on the Central Server, you have to
allocate the license for each Probe. For example, you have 10 Probes
installed and
have purchased 100 concurrent call license. After applying the license
on the Central Server, you have to specify the concurrent call count
for each probe. Overall the sum should not exceed 100. At the same
time, if the concurrent calls monitored by a Probe exceeds the license limit updated for that Probe in the Central server,
then
that particular Probe stops monitoring the calls exceeding the limit. The
same is displayed as an error message in the web client.
To allocate the license count for the Probes:
Go to Admin --> Probes.
Click on the Edit icon corresponding to the Probe to which you
want to allocate the license count.
The undistributed license count is mentioned in the Available License field.
Enter the count of the license you want to allocate for this Probe in the Alloted License Count field. (Eg. Enter the count as 10.)
Click Update. Similarly you have allocate the license for other
Probes. Now connect the Probe web client and click on the License link
available on the top. It should display the count you have entered.
(Eg. It should display 10.)
Note: In case, if any Probe server is down when you distribute the license count, the same will be synchronized to that Probe server when the Central server is able to communicate with it. |
After allocating the licenses to the Probe, you can go back to the License page in the Central Server web client, to view the remaining licenses available. The following image shows the license page of the Central Server with the 'Number of Concurrent Calls Licensed' and 'Number of Concurrent Calls distributed' to the Probes.
Note: If the Alloted License Count is '0' for a Probe or license limit is exceeded, the Probe stops monitoring the calls and displays the same an error message on the web client. |
