Hi All,

my name is Massimo, i'm a newbie with Unimus, but i think it's the perfect tool to match my purpose.

So, i would to buy the basic license, but i want to know if is possible to activate the license with internet connection one shot and then close the internet connection on my VM in order to have more security.

I hope it's clear :)

thanx in advance for your support

Massimo

Hi!

Using the standard online licensing, Unimus requires connectivity to the licensing server at startup, once every 2 days if there are no inventory changes, and for inventory changes (during zone and/or device addition or deletion).

So apologies, but connectivity only during startup is not enough. Offline Mode of course solves that, but it does require an Unlimited license. We have a post here as to why Offline Mode is supported only for the Unlimited tier: viewtopic.php?p=3869#p3869

For completeness, we also have a full transparency statement here about what the licensing communication collects from local instances: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1232

Hi, the only external address required for communication is https://licensing.unimus.net.

Here is also the full list of possible traffic Unimus can generate:
