Without a license key, Monitor one runs in evaluation mode. There is no functional difference between running in evaluation mode and normal mode - it's the same software! Without a purchased license key, only the number of devices that can be monitored is limited to 8 and because of a time restriction, Monitor one shuts down at a random time during the night.

Recommendations

• We advise that Monitor one is run on a separate workstation (not the workstation you use as your day-to-day workstation).
• The Monitor one software and the Network Maps must be installed/Created locally - do not install them on a server drive. A connection to a server can be lost in case of a major network failure - and this is just the event where Monitor one is supposed to help.
• Use a fixed IP-address for the Monitor one workstation. (traps and syslog messages are usually sent to a fixed IP-address).
• For best monitoring results, connect - if possible - the Monitor one station to the backbone of your network.
