RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

We’ve always had it attached to a team name (e.g. wifiteam@) which is clearly generic. Our license didn’t get cancelled, but they did email and ring to state we were out of compliance and wanted to chat and resolve the situation instead of cutting off access. Perhaps they changed their process

RE: Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Just a quick but relevant clarification- “Non transferable” means not transferrable outside the organization. So, for example, a reseller can’t purchase it and then give it to someone else. One university can’t purchase it and then give it/transfer it to another university, etc. In the cases

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Great thread everyone - I love watching (and occasionally contributing) to all of the things that go on in the edu space! For my part, the licensing restrictions that people face using Ekahau products are also present in their competitors' products. For example, here is a twitter thread that

RE: Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Coming from a company works with clients using these products & that sells several, here’s my opinion: * Ekahau: I’m sad with the direction they’re going and echo the sentiments here- I believe in non-concurrent use which is how the rest of licensing usually works. There are times we move

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

There are other surveying software available, but you will likely encounter the same licensing restrictions. iBwave Wi-Fi Mobile is licensed same as Ekahau As far as I am aware from days of old, the NetAlly AirMagnet Survey Software will allow you to tie the software to a MAC address of a

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

I don’t think Ekahau sends anything to the end user unless they seek support in the case of an issue. When you send an email to support or call them, they always ask what product key your device is using, and if there is a different name on file for them vs. what was registered through the

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Hi, how did they know it was a generic account? Are they sending back information about the device it's on and mapping the login? Or they just using some heuristic that looks to see if it may be a generic account such as sending emails to thT user account and getting no response. Jimmy On Sun,

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Unfortunately $3000-$4000 per engineer per year is outside our annual budget for wireless survey software. We simply don’t use it often enough to justify that. We need the flexibility for each engineer to have an ability to survey when needed. iBwave won’t make our list with that pricing as

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Since the acquisition, the company has absolutely lost their way in simply dealing with customers when compared to old Ekahau. Ekahau 1.0 made it very clear that their customers were absolute priority. E2.0 has made it clear that $ is the priority, customers can go elsewhere if they don’t like

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

IBwave is indeed not in your list and it should be, and their subscription model for the software is interesting. They are up here in Montreal and have a knowledgeable team. Manon Lessard Chargée de programmation et d’analyse CCNP, CWNE #275, AWA 10, ESCE Design Direction des technologies de

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Depends on your needs, for me as annoying as their licencing hounds have become since the acquisition there is nothing that remotely matches the Ekahau offering at this point. I’m sure the community annoyance is being noticed by the likes of NetAlly AirMagnet and iBwave though. I’d add those to

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Ekahau Licensing & Alternatives

Thanks everyone for the feedback, it sounds like many of us are in the same boat. We like Ekahau, but I’m always open to other options on any products we use. Here is a list of options I’m flirting with and would love to know if anyone has utilized them. VisiWave - $849 TamoGraph - $1399
