Frequently asked questions about the trial
Trials of Checkmk are now easier than ever - simply download the latest build of the Checkmk Cloud Edition and start using it. The Checkmk Cloud Edition includes all features of the Enterprise Edition. Features that are exclusive to the Cloud Edition (e.g., cloud dashboards, push agent, etc.) are marked as such in the GUI, so you won’t risk testing anything that won’t be available later on.
The trial expires after 30 days, at which point your site can either be licensed as a paid subscription, or you can continue using it for free for as long as you want. In the free state, your site will be limited to 750 services and one site.
To purchase a Checkmk license, you can either purchase online or request a quote.
Windows is not a supported operating system for Checkmk server. Nevertheless, Checkmk is available as an OVA (Open Virtualization Appliance), which can be loaded and launched on your desktop hypervisor for Windows like Proxmox and VMvare vSphere. The Checkmk virtual appliance contains a pre-installed Linux operating system, firmware, and a graphical interface. The web GUI allows you to configure the operating system, the appliance, and Checkmk without needing to use the Linux command line. More information about Checkmk virtual appliance deployments steps you will find in our comprehensive installation guide.
The easiest way to get started with a POC is to simply install the Cloud Edition, create a new site and use the 30-day trial period. If you need more than 30 days to build your POC, please contact our sales team who will be able to issue a POC license.
