How Do I Enter rsyslog Windows Agent License Information?#

Answer#

Open the rsyslog Windows Agent Configuration Client, go to General -> License, enter the registration name exactly as provided, import the license key, save the configuration, and restart the service.

Details#

After you purchase rsyslog Windows Agent, Adiscon sends the license information by email. That message contains:

  • the registration name

  • the license key

The registration name is case-sensitive and must match the delivered value exactly.

For Event Log Monitor deployments, licensing is based on the source systems whose Windows Event Logs are collected or forwarded. A license is required for each monitored system, regardless of whether that source system is a physical server, a workstation, or a virtual machine.

Action path#

  1. Open the rsyslog Windows Agent Configuration Client.

  2. In the left pane, expand General and select License.

  3. Copy the registration name from the delivery email into Registration Name.

  4. Copy the full license key and click Import from Clipboard.

  5. Save the configuration.

  6. Restart the rsyslog Windows Agent service so the updated license state is applied.
