SquaredUp DS for SCOM - Licensing FAQ

Is SquaredUp an annual subscription or perpetual license?

SquaredUp is a flexible, annual subscription license.

Are support and upgrades included?

Yes, support and upgrades are included in the cost of your annual subscription license, meaning that whenever we release a new minor or major version of SquaredUp, you'll get it free-of-charge.

What are Named Users?

Named Users have full, interactive access to SquaredUp, including dashboard drilldowns, perspectives, performance reporting, alert management and more. A SquaredUp Named User requires an Active Directory account and permissions to access your SCOM Management Group.

Can I purchase additional Named User licenses at a later stage?

Yes, you can purchase additional users at any time on a co-termed basis, whether in multiples of users (e.g. an additional five Named Users for an existing Teams package) or moving from one licensing option to another (e.g. upgrading from an Essentials to Teams).

Can the same user access SquaredUp from more than one device at the same time?

No. Whilst a Named User can roam across devices, the same user cannot connect from more than one device simultaneously.

What are Open Access Dashboards?

Open Access are shared versions of your SquaredUp dashboards. Users can access Open Access dashboards without authenticating and without requiring a Named User license. They can interact with the dashboard, but they cannot drilldown without a Named User license. Open Access dashboards are highly scalable, and are perfect for publishing and sharing widely throughout your organisation because (i) you don’t need to set up user permissions (ii) our Open Access technology allows multiple users to view dashboards without additional load on your monitoring infrastructure.

Do Open Access Dashboards show live data?

Yes, Open Access dashboards show live data and refresh every 60 seconds by default.

Is there any limit to the number of Dashboards I can create?

No. Irrespective of what SquaredUp license you have you can create as many Dashboards as you want.

Are there any additional charges for the Management Pack required to power VADA?

No, this Management Pack is available free of charge.

Can SquaredUp be licensed to cover multiple SCOM Management Groups?

Yes, please contact our friendly sales team to request a bespoke quote if you wish to run SquaredUp against multiple SCOM Management Groups.
