In order to run a commercial edition of PRTG, you need a commercial license key. Please visit Paessler's online shop to buy PRTG and enter the license key information into the respective fields.
1. Purchase a commercial license key
- If you have already purchased a commercial license, you can skip this step.
- Please visit the Paessler online store at https://www.paessler.com/order and chose the desired product and payment type. You will receive your license key via email—if you pay with credit card, usually within minutes.
- Your purchase is risk-free: Paessler offers you a 30 day money back guarantee in case you aren't fully satisfied with our product.
2. Enter your commercial license key
- You should have received your license key via email after your purchase. In order to re-send your license information, please log in to your Paessler customer account.
- Once you've received your license key, please enter name and key into the respective fields.
- Name and key have to be written exactly the way they are stated in the email; so we recommend using copy and paste.
