Q: Is the evaluation version of Event Archiver fully functional?
A: Yes, it is fully functional for managing the logs of up to 50 machines, and it does time out in 30 days.
Q: I've installed your product, but am having some difficulties getting scheduled log archives to take place. We have tight security policies in our organization, including atypical registry settings. Could this be causing the problem?
A: Yes it could. [Complete a support request : http://www.whatsupgold.com/support/technical-support-form.aspx] to obtain a list of registry keys to which the Event Archiver Service must have access.
Q: Do I have to install clients to each workstation/server I collect event logs from?
A: No. Event Archiver manages all logs remotely, and no client installation is required. This greatly simplifies deployment time. In some environments, such as networks consisting of multiple sites separated by WAN links, multiple installations of the software at each site is recommended.
Q: I have event logs from 20 servers and 100 workstations that I want to archive. Event Archiver however runs on only my machine. How many licenses do I need?
A: Event Archiver is licensed per server and/or workstation from which logs are being archived. Therefore, you would need 20 server licenses and 100 workstation licenses.
