Background Information
For using the Google Maps API, each of our customers has to accept Google's conditions for it by applying for the (free) API key. This is an agreement between Google and our customers which we cannot affirm on behalf of our customers. That's why, as of PRTG version 8.3.2.2157/2158, we ask all customers to apply for an API key once.
