Offline activation

Regarding this statement:

"On permit expiry, SQL Monitor needs to be re-activated."

Does this mean that the license cannot be re-activated until it is expired? Can a monitoring outage, however brief, be avoided using offline activation?

Hi @tblank

You should be able to re-activate it at any time. The permits last for 1 year and this message is just indicating that after that year is up, you will need to re-activate it. As for outages activating via offline, there should be no outage provided the permits are still active.

Here is some more information on the licensing:
