Description
This is the Annual Maintenance Renewal for Legacy 8MATE. 8MATEs are the add-on modules for the legacy 8MAN software, extending its capabilities to systems like SharePoint, Exchange, and File Servers.
Renewing your 8MATE maintenance ensures these critical integrations continue to function correctly with your core 8MAN/ARM system and the underlying platforms they monitor.

FAQs: 8MATE Renewal
Q: Do I need to renew 8MATE if I renew 8MAN?
A: Yes. 8MATE modules are licensed separately. If you don't renew them, the specific integration (e.g., SharePoint) may stop receiving updates or support.
Q: Can I upgrade 8MATE to ARM?
A: Yes. SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM) includes many features that were previously separate 8MATEs. Contact us for a consolidation quote.
Q: Does this renewal include the 8MAN core?
A: No. This SKU is for the 8MATE add-ons only. You must also renew the core 8MAN license.
Q: Is GrantMA covered here?
A: GrantMA is often considered an 8MATE module. Please check your specific license keys, but yes, this is typically the correct category.
