Device Pro License Overview

Other Languages: 日本語

Start with essential features and upgrade with Pro licenses.

EnGenius Cloud provides two types of feature plans, Basic and PRO. You need to set up the feature plan to either Basic or PRO for product categories.

The Basic feature plan comes with essential cloud features for free, and the PRO plan requires a Pro license to enable managed devices with professional features.

Diagram 1 - Feature Plan for

• Users can choose any feature plan combination for different device categories. For example, you only need basic management features of Switches but require professional features of Access Points.
• Each device category will follow its Feature Plan(Basic or PRO) to keep the logs and capacity of advanced features accordingly.

Note. 1. The Camera category does NOT follow Basic or PRO Feature Plans, allowing more flexible deployment and unified management. This is because a camera’s viewing and storage requirements vary depending on where it is installed. Within the same organization and network, both valid PRO-licensed and unlicensed cameras can be managed together. The key difference is that PRO-licensed cameras provide extended durations for Remote Viewing Time, Object Search Period, Statistic Data Retention, and Log Retention.

2. The Switch Extender category always operates under the PRO Feature Plan.

• System features of Organization-wide or network-wide level

  • Features, such as Team Members, Maximum Networks per Organization, Clone Network, Client List Export, Scheduled Reports, etc., will remain available under the PRO plan as long as at least one PRO feature plan is enabled in any of the AP, Switch, or Gateway categories.
  • Cloud RADIUS and Voucher Service Both Cloud RADIUS and Voucher Service remain PRO plan when at least one PRO feature plan is enabled on any AP or Gateway.
  • Topology Topology for both EnGenius and third-party devices remains a PRO plan as long as a PRO feature plan is enabled on Switch.
