PRTG Manual: License and PRTG configuration
The first time you open PRTG Database Observer, it is running the 30-day Free Trial License.
If you have purchased a license, you can enter your License Key in the About section or using a command line as described in section Validate a full license. This is also where you can find the Machine ID required to generate a new License Key.
After the first start-up, you will also need to add your PRTG servers, depending on your license type. This is done by clicking on Add in the PRTG Servers section on the About tab. You must provide the following:
