Do You Need to Manage More Devices?
There are a number of reasons to upgrade the size of your Orion® deployment:
- Your network is growing and new devices need to be added and managed
- Virtualization is driving your monitoring needs up
- You are lucky enough to have some budget left to grow your network management system
- Your current Orion deployment has reached its performance limits and you’d like
to distribute the polling to additional servers
Upgrade Pricing
We believe that great network management solutions shouldn’t cost as much as fancy
Italian sports cars. We also believe customers with smaller networks deserve the
same functionality as ones with more advanced networks.
That’s why the entry-level tiers for Orion have exactly the same functionality as
the top tiers. We believe customers should be able to grow their network management
system (NMS) along with their network. We also believe in fair pricing for upgrades.
The cost to upgrade your Orion licenses is simply the price difference between your
current license tier and the tier you’d like to upgrade to.

more devices!

Polling Engines
For larger Orion NPM customers, SolarWinds provides Polling Engines which allow you to distribute the polling
load across multiple servers.
Maintenance Impact
As part of the upgrade process, your maintenance renewal date will not change, however
your renewal price will be based on the new license tier level. If your Orion is
currently out of maintenance, please contact our
maintenance team to restore your license to active status before upgrading.
Upgrade Installation
We’ve made upgrading to a new license very easy. For customers on Orion NPM, Orion NCM, or Server & Application Monitor, simply install the new license tier on top of your existing deployment. For Orion modules (NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, IP Address Manager, IP SLA Manager), simply purchase your new license, run the SolarWinds License Manager, enter the new activation key, and restart your Orion services. In minutes, you’ll be running at the new license level!
