Paessler Enterprise Monitor, officially named PRTG Enterprise Monitor, supports infrastructure monitoring across multiple PRTG installations. A Paessler Enterprise Monitor license aligns sensor capacity with your enterprise monitoring scope. When selecting a PRTG Enterprise Monitor license, assess site distribution, reporting requirements, and isolated networks alongside subscription capacity.
For procurement teams, the goal is a deployment that covers critical services without underestimating monitoring workload. GoLicense can prepare a quotation around your sensor inventory, server architecture, and activation requirements.

Features & Benefits
Multi-Server Visibility and Distributed Coverage
Enterprise dashboards bring separate PRTG installations into a consolidated view. This helps teams compare conditions across data centers and branches while distributing collection workloads. Remote probes collect measurements near monitored systems; additional core servers provide architectural flexibility when one installation is insufficient.
Service-Level Reporting and Operational Response
PRTG SLA Reporter supports service-availability reporting, while configurable notifications help operators respond to failures and threshold violations. Historical measurements provide context for investigation. Define service dependencies and reporting scope carefully so dashboards reflect business priorities rather than an undifferentiated list of sensor alarms.
Offline Coverage and Flexible Sensor Capacity
Enterprise Monitor supports connected and isolated installations within an enterprise design. Offline sublicenses assign sensor limits to individual servers, while the main subscription accounts for the overall licensed scope. This supports monitoring in restricted environments without requiring those servers to maintain internet connectivity.
License Overview
A sensor monitors an aspect of a device or service, such as interface traffic, processor utilization, or application availability. Multiple measurements on one device consume multiple sensors. Estimate capacity from the required checks, not simply the number of assets.
The enterprise subscription supports multiple PRTG servers and includes maintenance. Confirm committed sensor capacity, subscription duration, and excess-usage settlement before ordering. Minimum commercial quantities should follow the current quotation. For wider infrastructure procurement, compare requirements within the Network License portfolio.
Product Overview
Core servers manage configuration, monitoring history, notifications, and reports. Probes perform checks using supported technologies such as SNMP, WMI, HTTP, and flow protocols. Enterprise visualization tools consolidate information across installations; they complement the monitoring servers rather than replacing their collection and processing functions.
Core Technical Flow
Devices and services expose measurements → probes collect results → each core server evaluates and stores monitoring data → enterprise views consolidate installation status → alerts and SLA reports support operational decisions. Plan credentials, probe reachability, and reporting access around existing network boundaries.
Options & Licensing Models
Connectivity changes how licenses are activated and allocated. These are deployment scenarios within Enterprise Monitor, not separate feature tiers.
| Scenario | License Allocation | Planning Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Online | Main enterprise subscription across connected installations | Sensor usage and server distribution |
| Offline | Installation-specific sublicenses within the enterprise subscription | Per-server sensor limits and activation data |
| Hybrid | Connected installations plus offline sublicenses | Combined capacity and isolated-site allocation |
Compatibility & Requirements
PRTG core servers require supported Windows systems. Size resources according to sensor types, polling intervals, retention, and probe distribution. Classic and multi-platform probes differ in operating-system and sensor support. Validate firewall permissions, monitoring credentials, and the requirements of enterprise dashboard and reporting components before deployment.
Activation & Deployment
Confirm the subscription and installation architecture, prepare servers and probes, then activate the relevant licenses. For offline servers, collect each installation’s System ID and request its sublicense key and activation data through an approved connected process. Test representative sensors, alert delivery, consolidated views, and reporting before expanding coverage.
Pricing & Quote Process
Provide GoLicense with estimated sensors, site count, planned core servers, subscription period, and offline allocations. Identify existing PRTG installations and expected growth. Request an Enterprise Monitor quote to confirm capacity, included components, and commercial terms against your actual monitoring design.
