๐Ÿ” ggRock Licensing

This article breaks down how ggRock licensing works, what restrictions apply, and how to stay within the limits of your license.


๐Ÿ“˜ Basic Licensing Concepts

ggRock offers two main licensing models:

A recurring monthly or annual plan that grants you:

  • Access to Tier 2 support
  • Direct help from our support staff and developers
  • Advanced troubleshooting assistance

๐Ÿ… Pioneer Privileges

Back when ggLeap and ggRock launched, we offered a special Pioneer program. Pioneers paid an upfront fee to get:

  • Ongoing support
  • A perpetual discount on all future subscriptions
    Three tiers were available: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

Note: ggLeap Pioneers are grandfathered into ggRock, but not vice versa.


๐Ÿšง Licensing Restrictions

Hereโ€™s what you need to know to stay within your ggRock license limits:

  • โœ… Per Location License: One license covers a specific number of Machines and VMs at a single location.

  • You can use multiple servers (including failover) as long as the total number of Machines/VMs doesnโ€™t exceed your licensed limit.

  • ๐ŸŒ Internet Required: ggRock needs an active internet connection to run properly.

  • If you lose connection, youโ€™ve got 72 hours of offline functionality.

  • After 72 hours, ggRock will stop booting new Machines, though any currently running Machines will continue to operate.

  • โ›” Expired License: If your license expires, ggRock will stop functioning until it's reactivated โ€” similar to reaching the end of the offline grace period.


๐Ÿงฉ License Components

Hereโ€™s what each section of your license information means:

  • Offline โ€“ 62:43:32 Left โ€“ Youโ€™re in offline mode; reconnect within the time shown โณ
