GFI LanGuard Licensing Details

Overview

This article provides information on the GFI LanGuard licensing process details and how it works.

GFI LanGuard licensing is subscription based. It does not require client device licensing such as CALs (Client Access License), but it is instead licensed by the total number of nodes that scans in a given location. A node is defined as a device with an active/assigned IP address.
GFI LanGuard is licensed by the number of nodes. It scans on a 12, 24 or 36-month subscription basis.
GFI LanGuard is licensed by the total number of scanned hosts. The IP address, MAC address, and the hostname are used to identify each host.

Hosts, including their scan results, can be removed from the database in order to free up licenses.
When removing a device from Licensing, any scan results associated with the device is removed as well.
Removal of devices cannot be restored. Please ensure that the scan results for devices that should be removed are no longer needed.
During the evaluation of GFI LanGuard, the removal of a device is not possible.
If two out of three host identification methods match for a device when scanned, it is considered to be the same device and does not consume an additional license.

Subscriptions can be ordered for one, two or three years.
A valid subscription includes updates to patch database, vulnerability database and to receive Technical support through email and phone.
There is only one key issued per product; subscription for all nodes licensed must end on the same date.
For add-on licenses, a subscription must be taken out to coincide with the base product expiration date.
