Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is this license strictly per PDU or can it cover multiple devices? A: This subscription is issued for a single 1 PDU 3-Phase device. If you manage additional PDUs, you would typically acquire separate licenses for each device to ensure full coverage and consistent feature availability.
• Q: How is the license delivered and activated? A: The license is delivered via email. Activation occurs through the APC network management interface by entering the provided license key to initiate the 3-year validation and enable ongoing updates.
• Q: What happens after the 3-year term? A: At the end of the 3-year term, you can renew or extend coverage, subject to APC’s licensing options. Renewal typically preserves access to continued updates, support, and validation features, helping you maintain uptime.
• Q: Will this license interfere with existing APC software? A: No. The subscription is designed to integrate with your existing APC ecosystem, complementing other management tools and sensors. It is scoped to the 1 PDU 3-Phase device it is assigned to, minimizing overlap with other licenses.
• Q: What kind of monitoring and alerts can I expect? A: The subscription enables monitoring of key electrical parameters, including voltage, current, temperature, and load balance. You can configure alerts to trigger when readings exceed predefined thresholds, enabling proactive maintenance and quicker response to anomalies.
