Licenses

nEdge is shipped with two different licenses:

• nEdge Pro: provides full monitoring capabilities, but only bridge mode support. Protocol/category policies can be set, along with bandwidth limits and quotas. It does not provide routing mode.
• nEdge Enterprise: provides all the features of the nEdge version plus the routing mode, with the possibility to load balance or failover multiple gateways.
