Maintenance Days Left

Tony, when did this start as mine has done the same.

What happens if you go to http://<PRTG SERVER>/activation.htm. Can you activate your license as I cannot! I have over 18 months left of maintenance left.

Tony, When did this start happening?

Hello Tony,

Thanks for using PRTG.

You may directly download the latest PRTG Software here and manually activate your license.

Kind regards,

Jeremiah,

I do not want to come off as sarcastic but do you think the technical professional on this forum would not have tried that first. I have the latest version installed - 23.2.83.1760+ (automatically updating). As a fault finding step, i restored the server. Licence is green and activated. When i attempt either a automatic or offline license update, it instantly goes to red and says "Maintenance not valid for this version"

What version? What is it talking about? I am in paid maintenance until late 2024 so i need answers. I am running the server on a snap now as to when your software decides to automatically throw me under my own bus! Its a joke.

Hi Jeremiah,

My main issue is resolved by the tips given in this topic. I wrote an internal procedure to extend the maintenance contract. However, I wonder what happens / needs to be done when the license isn't updated within time (offline installation).

Regarding the ticket, I believe that was ment for @sloveland.

Hello @Tony_V,

Thank you for your response.

PRTG licenses are perpetual, meaning that PRTG will continue to function even after the maintenance period has expired. However, without active maintenance, you will not receive the latest updates, features, sensors, and security and bug fixes.
