NetCrunch licenses what you actually monitor — not sensors, not modules, not metrics. One license per node, one interface included with each, and unlimited metrics on top. Resize at any renewal.
Three rules replace the license tiers of every other network tool you have used.
A node is anything you monitor — a switch, server, VM, cloud service, even a printer. One license per device, no matter how many metrics you collect from it. Monitoring a device more deeply never costs extra.
Bandwidth detail on network ports is the only thing you scale separately. Add extra interfaces only where you need per-port traffic data.
Resize the license at any renewal — no reinstallation, and no paying next year for a size you no longer need. Subscription or perpetual.
Both editions are agentless, include live dashboards and automatic topology, and run on a single modest server. The difference is how much scale and depth you get out of the box.

Subscription or perpetual. Sized to your node and interface count.
Add-ons are optional: take only the ones you need, and add them later without reinstalling.

Annual, and the lowest entry cost. It covers a year of support, updates and cloud services, and every new version released while it runs.
Buy once and own it, with three years of support, updates and cloud services. Renew the upgrade subscription only when you want new versions.
For the largest single-server deployments — up to 10,000 nodes and 50,000 interfaces, with the advanced modules and generous add-on allowances included. Annual subscription, quoted per customer.
Drag to your network. It shows the license you would need and which edition fits, then carries the numbers into the quote form below.
Every node already includes one interface. Add extras only for the ports where you want per-port bandwidth, errors and traffic detail.
You would need 250 node licenses and 50 extra interface licenses.
That covers 250 devices, one interface each, plus 50 extra ports for per-port bandwidth monitoring.
Get my exact priceThis sizes a license against the real node and interface model — no sensors, no hidden counts. Several sites need more than the sliders show: a remote probe per site, and a Flow Server per site where you collect flows. Tell us how your network is spread out and we will size those with it. The final quote reflects volume and edition, and comes back within one business day.
A check somebody skips to keep the bill down is a blind spot, and nobody finds out what it cost until the outage. Observability starts from the opposite premise — you cannot know in advance what will matter, so you collect first and ask questions later. That only works if the extra data is free: once a device is licensed, watching it more closely costs nothing more.
Every check you add to a device is another sensor on the bill. Your network grows slowly; the number of things worth watching on it grows fast. NetCrunch licenses the device instead, with unlimited metrics on it.
Flows, config backup and cloud are separate products to license there. In Professional you add only the ones you want; Enterprise includes them, and Ultimate includes the most generous allowances of all.
Enterprise covers 10,000 nodes and 100,000+ interfaces from one server — a VM is fine, no appliance to rack — and clusters when you need it highly available.
Hosted tools meter you per host, monthly, and hold your telemetry. NetCrunch runs where you put it: on-premises, or a VM in your own Azure, AWS or GCP tenancy.
We have found in NetCrunch a complete monitoring tool which is very effective in adapting to our IT needs. NetCrunch offers powerful native network mapping and configuration capabilities, both effective and granular.
The features that distinguish NetCrunch from other solutions are its agent-less capabilities and the powerful, customizable dashboard with real-time network views.
Thanks to the inheritance function and Monitoring Packs in NetCrunch, laborious configuration of every single node is the past now.
A node is any monitored endpoint - a device, virtual machine, cloud service, or even a printer. You license one node for each one, and it does not matter how many metrics that node reports.
An interface is a network port on a monitored SNMP device, used for bandwidth, traffic, errors, discards and link status. Every node already includes one. You only add extra interfaces where you need per-port detail.
Subscription is the lower entry cost and keeps support, updates and cloud services included for a year at a time. A perpetual license is yours outright and comes with three years of the same; after that you renew the upgrade subscription only when you want new versions or cloud features.
Yes. Resize at any renewal and apply the new license key. There is no reinstallation, no data migration and nothing to rebuild, including when you move between editions.
In Professional, the Flow Server, device config backup, cloud sensors and remote probes are optional add-ons. In Enterprise they are part of the platform price. IP camera monitoring is included in both.
One Flow Server license is included with Enterprise, covering NetFlow and sFlow collection. Since version 16 a Flow Server can also be installed at a remote site, so flow monitoring is fully distributed: run one per network site and read all of it from a single point. Tell us how your flow sources are spread out and we will size that with the rest of the license.
Pricing scales with your node and interface count, and larger deployments are quoted as Enterprise. Send us your counts and we will come back with a volume quote.
Because two networks of the same size rarely need the same coverage. We price what you actually monitor - nodes and interfaces - rather than a one-size tier, so the page shows worked examples and we size the rest to your network.
We offer optional free initial setup assistance, so your team can see the platform working on your own network without a long configuration exercise first.
Your node and interface numbers — or just say “size my network” if you are not sure yet.
A sized, edition-specific price within one business day. No overkill, no pressure.
