Description
This is the Annual Subscription Renewal for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA). NTA adds bandwidth analysis capabilities to your Network Performance Monitor (NPM) installation.
Renewing allows you to continue processing NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX data. Keep your visibility into "who is using the bandwidth" and ensure alerting on high-traffic applications (like Netflix or YouTube) remains active.
Why Renew NTA?
- Traffic Visibility: Keep identifying top talkers and bandwidth hogs.
- CBQoS Monitoring: Ensure your QoS policies are correctly prioritizing VoIP and critical apps.
- Alerting: Receive notifications when interface traffic exceeds thresholds.
- Support: Access SolarWinds support for flow configuration assistance.
- Application ID: Identify encrypted traffic using NBAR2 support.
Why Buy From Softech.store?
- ✔ Authorized Distributor: Authentic renewals.
- ✔ License Alignment: We ensure your NTA renewal matches your NPM license size.

Trending FAQs: NTA Renewal
Q: Must I renew NTA if I renew NPM?
A: It is highly recommended. SolarWinds generally requires the maintenance expiration dates of integrated modules (like NPM and NTA) to be aligned. If NTA expires, you lose flow visibility.
Q: Can I downgrade my NTA license?
A: No, the NTA license size must always match the NPM license size (e.g., SL500). You cannot have NPM SLX and NTA SL100.
Q: What if I upgrade to Observability?
A: If you migrate to SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted Advanced, NTA features are included! You would stop renewing this standalone module and start the new unified subscription. Contact us for a migration quote.
Q: What if I don't renew NTA but keep NPM?
A: The NTA module will stop processing new flow data. You will still see NPM data (up/down status), but the "NetFlow" tab will be empty or inaccessible.
