What is a failover node?

PRTG comes with a built-in failover cluster for high-availability monitoring. A failover cluster consists of two separate PRTG core server installations, where one server acts as the master node and one server as the failover node.

Find more information here:

  • PRTG Manual: Failover Cluster
  • How-to guide: How to set up a failover cluster in PRTG  
What does manual license activation or offline license activation mean?

PRTG Network Monitor usually activates your license automatically via the internet during the installation process. Only if the system that runs your PRTG server cannot connect to the Paessler activation server, you must manually activate your license.

Find more information in the PRTG Manual: Activate the product

Please note: The manual license activation process of PRTG Enterprise Monitor differs from that of PRTG Network Monitor. To activate your PRTG Enterprise Monitor license offline, follow the steps in our Knowledge Base article: How do I manually activate my PRTG Enterprise Monitor license?
