Hi every one,
Is spot light offering the licenced per instance like others or its licensed per server so that we can add some more instances with out paying any extra bugs..
Thanks in advance

As with any thing so legally binding as licensing, speak to the vendor or your reseller, dont take public forum as the truth.
But.....
Last time I purchased Spotlight licenses it was on a per physical server basis, not an instance basis, now that was 4 years ago.
But as they are now part of Dell and offering CPU and Server licenses, I would double check with your Quest\Dell contact or your reseller as the rules may have changed.

Hi Anthony i have seen your previous post regarding purchasing 80 spotlight licences ... did u mean u brought for 80 different servers....

Yes, as at the time they didnt give the CPU option, which would of suited us better due to 70 of the 80 servers being virtual, so could of saved a lot of money. But hey that is the way the cookie crumbles.

if we take CPU option we can have multiple virtual servers that can be monitored with out extra cost .Am i right anthony.
if we have server licence we can have multiple instances that can be monitored with out extra money. Am i right

Speak to Quest, they make the rules, they enforce the rules.
As I say its been 4 years since I last did a purchase, so get the information you seek from the horses mouth.
