Scriptlogic Enterprise Security Reporter FAQ

Enterprise Security Reporter™ - Frequently Asked Questions

• How is Enterprise Security Reporter licensed?
  • Enterprise Security Reporter is licensed by the number of servers on which you want to generate reports.
  
  
• Do I need a license for every server on my network?
  • No. You only need a license for every server on which you want to generate reports. So, to produce a report covering 20 servers you must have 20 licenses.
    
    Example: I have 400 servers on my network and I want to run security reports on 50 of them. You need 50 Enterprise Security Reporter licenses.
  
  
• Can I move licenses from one server to another?
  • No. Licenses are effectively "named server" licenses, and can only be used on the server for which they were bought.
  
  
• What happens if I exceed my license count?
  • The Discovery process will discover as many servers as you have licenses in each discovery job. However, you are still required to own a license for every server that you plan to examine using Enterprise Security Reporter, even if you only do not intend to run a discovery against all of them in one job.
  
  
• Is an evaluation license available? What restrictions does it have?
  • Yes, a 30-day evaluation license is available from www.scriptlogic.com. The evaluation license restricts searches to 3 servers and 5000 "objects" (user accounts, files, shares, groups, etc...).
  
  
• Can I extend my evaluation?
  • You can request an extension for an evaluation license at www.scriptlogic.com.
  
  
• How do I find out how many licenses I have installed?
  • The Discovery Administration Console shows how many servers you are licensed to discover in the text box labeled "Licenses".
  
  
• How do I find out how many licenses I've used?
  • The Discovery Administration Console shows how many servers you have selected to discover in the current discovery job in the text box labeled "Servers". However, you are required to purchase a license for all servers that Enterprise Security Reporter will be used to report on, even if they are not included in the current discovery job.
  
  
• How do I install Enterprise Security Reporter on multiple workstations?
  • Every time you install Enterprise Security Reporter on a workstation you must re-apply the original license file supplied to you by ScriptLogic.
