Urgent: How to install Splunk Enterprise Free version ASAP?

ponto — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 21:34:10 GMT

Good Morning,

I'm writing to you this message because I need very important information to do my job (I work for an Italian agency).

I downloaded the Splunk enterprise free edition and as you wrote on your website, after 60 days I can choose whether to buy the license or have a free one. I would like to have the free one, but I don't know how to.
So could you explain to me how to do it? And could you also tell me if the logs created by the software are certified by Splunk?

Waiting for your reply as soon as possible, best regards.

to keep the Splunk Free license, follow these steps:
go to Settings>Licensing>Change License Group in the Splunk Web and select Free License

Go to Settings>>Licensing here you can change license group
although after 60 days it will give you pop up to change license group.

Splunk Enterprise automatically changes to the Free license after 60 days. You don't have to do anything for that.

What do you mean by "are the logs certificated"?
