Licensing by Platform Performance Parameters

UserGate NGFW can be licensed for unlimited concurrent device connections. System operation is only limited by the performance of the platform purchased and depends on:

  • type of hardware platform (for hardware and software systems);

  • the number of supported virtual machine cores (for a virtual image).

New user sessions are not blocked, performance degrades naturally as the processed traffic increases.

If you try to register invalid hardware with a key with performance limitation, an error will appear: Entered PIN code is licensed for another type of UserGate device, or configuration of this server is not licensed, for example, number of actual CPU cores exceeds the number of CPU cores licensed.

Note If a virtual machine is registered with the valid key and additional cores are added in the future, only the number of cores allowed by the license will be active in the virtual machine.
