3.17. Licensing

ASGARD requires an Issuer-License in order to scan systems. The Issuer-License contains the number of asset-, server- and workstation systems that can be scanned with ASGARD Management Center as well as the Aurora service licenses.

ASGARD will automatically issue a valid single-license for a particular system during its initial THOR scan.

The screenshot below shows the licensing section of an ASGARD.

In addition, ASGARD can create single-licenses that can be used for agent-less scanning. In this case the license is generated and downloaded through the Web frontend.

The following systems require a workstation license in order to be scanned:

  • Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11

  • Mac OS

The following systems require a server license in order to be scanned:

  • All Microsoft Windows server systems

  • All Linux systems

The licenses are hostname based except for asset licenses. Asset licenses are issued for each accepted asset as soon as a response action is performed (playbook or remote console access).

3.17.1. Thunderstorm

You can upload your THOR Thunderstorm license lower box of the Licenses view. Please note that the Thunderstorm license needs to have the same hostname as the ASGARD system.
