The MonitorWare Agent Workstation or Server Professional Edition permits you to receive messages from up to 100 devices. The MonitorWare Agent Workstation or Server Enterprise Edition permits you to receive messages from an unlimited number of devices.

MonitorWare Agent can be used to monitor text files on remote systems. This remote monitoring requires a proper license. MonitorWare Agent comes in several editions, each of them permitting remote file monitoring for a different number of remote systems, You must purchase the edition of MonitorWare Agent that reflects the number of different remote systems being monitored by MonitorWare Agent.

MonitorWare Agent can be used to monitor Windows event logs on remote computers. A full MonitorWare Agent license is required for each remote computer on which Windows event logs are being monitored. Technically, the product might count licenses based on the number of remote event log monitors configured. In such cases, a license is required for each remote event log monitor configured.

A specific edition of the MonitorWare Agent product is licensed. Only the specifically licensed version may be used. For example, if a MonitorWare Agent Workstation Basic Edition is licensed, features of the Professional edition may not be used. The license keys are also technically different, that is a Basic edition license key is technically different from a Professional Edition license key. Thus, a Basic edition license key can not be used to unlock Professional features.
