PRTG Setup Wizard—Welcome to PRTG Network Monitor (Step 1 of 5)

Choose which edition of the software you would like to install. There are three options.

Freeware Edition

  • Use PRTG for free without a time limit.
  • Monitoring is limited to 10 sensors and a minimum scanning interval of one minute.
  • No registration is needed to use PRTG as freeware!

Trial Edition

  • Test PRTG for 30 days with unlimited access to the software.
  • Monitoring is limited to 5,000 sensors.
  • You need to register at Paessler to obtain a trial key.
  • After the trial period, PRTG will automatically change to a freeware edition.
  • Note: If you have received a special Starter Edition key for extended freeware monitoring with 20 sensors, please choose this option.

Commercial Edition

  • Buy a license now or enter a license key that you have already purchased.
  • This option is only available if you have downloaded the commercial installer. You cannot use a commercial key with the freeware- or trial installer. In order to download the commercial installer, please log in to your Paessler customer account.
  • Enter a license key and monitor your network according to the PRTG license you have chosen.
