DATA RECON Licensing

This section covers the following topics:

Subscription License

DATA RECON is licensed to end-users on a per-TARGET basis.

More details about the Subscription License can be found in the Ground Labs EULA.

Targets

Target Type License Assignment
Servers

All servers: 1 license per server. This allows you to run scans on the local file system, process memory, and on network storage.

The server on which the network storage device is hosted requires a license, but the host on which the network storage device is mounted does not.

Database servers: 1 license per database server. Database servers are licensed individually. If using a clustered database, each node must also be individually licensed.

Websites: 1 license per domain name. No limit on sub-folders within the same domain. Sub-domains are licensed separately. For example, the following require a separate license each:

  • example.com
  • www.example.com
  • subdomain.example.com
Google Apps/ G Suite 1 license per user across Google Mail, Google Calendars, Google Tasks, and Google Drive storage.
Azure Queues/Tables/BLOB 1 license per Queue. 1 license per Table. 1 license per BLOB.
Rackspace Cloud Files 1 license per Rackspace Cloud Files container.
Google Mail (Gmail) See Google Apps/ G Suite for more information. Must have IMAP enabled.
IBM / Lotus Notes 1 license per IBM / Lotus Notes user.
IMAP/IMAPS Mailboxes 1 license per internet mailbox (IMAP/IMAPS).

DATA RECON Standard Edition and Advanced Edition

DATA RECON is typically used to scan local storage on host computers for cardholder data.

To use DATA RECON to scan advanced TARGETS such as databases and cloud storage, you would need to upgrade to a DATA RECON Advanced Edition license.
