How licensing is counted¶
IDSTower is licensed by the number of Suricata instances it manages.
On the Standard and Professional licenses each host runs a single Suricata instance, so one host is one instance. The Enterprise license allows several Suricata instances on the same host, and each instance counts toward your licensed number — three hosts running two instances each use six.
Note
Instances count the same either way, whether IDSTower deployed them or onboarded them from an existing installation. Onboarding is available on every license, including the free Standard one.
