About

All accounts in Datto RMM have a license limit. The initial license limit is set when you sign up for an account; however, you can manage your licenses on the Licenses page.

  • If a module is inactive, click Get Started to begin adding licenses and activate the module. The following licenses cards are available for configuration:
    • Managed and OnDemand devices: Review your current Managed device license count and usage as well as your current OnDemand device license usage. To self-provision additional managed licenses, refer to Add Managed device licenses.

    The following device types consume Managed device licenses:

    • Servers, desktops, and laptops with a Managed Agent installed
    • Managed network devices, printers, and ESXi devices

    NOTE  Datto Networking and Datto Continuity devices do not count toward your Managed device limit.

      NOTE  OnDemand devices have their own license type and do not count toward your Managed device limit. For information about OnDemand license limit and pricing, please contact your account manager.

    NOTE  The Licenses in use count for Ransomware Detection displays the number of devices that have an active (enabled) Ransomware monitor.

    When additional licenses are added, users with the Administrator security level will receive an email confirmation stating which user purchased the licenses, the type and number of licenses added, and the total number of licenses on the account. Administrator users will also receive an email when a feature is enabled.

    NOTE  If you have a trial account, or if you have any questions about pricing and self-provisioning additional licenses, please contact your account manager.

    Notes

    When your account exceeds its Managed device, Advanced Software Management, and/or Ransomware Detection license limit, a warning banner will appear.

    NOTE  This banner is visible to all users that can sign in to the Datto RMM account.

    Click Go to Licenses to self-provision additional licenses. Refer to Add Managed device licenses, Add Advanced Software Management licenses, and Add Ransomware Detection licenses.

    NOTE  Datto RMM has a 10% buffer to ensure that you don't lose connectivity to your devices when your account has reached its limit. However, any devices added above that buffer will not be able to connect to the Datto RMM platform, and an error message will be logged in the Datto RMM Agent log file. Refer to Agent log files.

    NOTE  The Datto Continuity Integration and Datto Networking Integration are free of charge. Datto Continuity and Datto Networking devices do not count toward your Managed device limit. Refer to Datto Continuity Integration and Datto Networking Integration.

    Contact your account manager if you would like to decrease your licenses, as this option is not available on the Licenses page.
