Does DB Connect need to communicate to others servers in order to install the app?</P> Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:46:55 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/DB-Connect-Communication-to-server-during-setup/m-p/432420#M53065 AirSplunk18 2018-07-11T12:46:55Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/DB-Connect-Communication-to-server-during-setup/m-p/432421#M53066 <P>Hi,</P> <P>free license won't work with DB Connect, because it needs RBAC and that isn't available.
