Splunk Test License

admin



Dev/Test is a limited feature set license of Splunk Enterprise software that is only meant for non-production use. The Dev/Test environment cannot be run to make production decisions or for production visibility. The exact definition can be found in Splunk’s standard EULA: EULA #2.3 Test and Development Software. The Dev/Test license has a larger daily ingestion limit than the Developer license. The Developer license lets you access all features of Splunk Enterprise, but the Dev/Test license restrictions prevent you from testing certain features. For example: The fixed user account requirement prevents testing role-based access control (RBAC). Splunk No-Enforcement license: If you have Splunk 6.5 or higher version and you purchased your license on or after 27th September 2016 then it comes under a “ no-enforcement ” license. In this case, if you are violating your license or license violation occurred then also your searching will be enabled, as well as indexing will be continued.

After you install Splunk Enterprise, you must install a license within 60 days to continue using all of the features of the product.
