Netgate Nexus licenses and entitlements for Multi-Instance Management for pfSense Plus are sold on a per-managed device basis and will remain valid for one year.  Entitlements will auto-renew upon expiration unless canceled. Please see our documentation for instructions on installing your license.

Note:

At this time, Netgate Nexus requires pfSense Plus 25.11 or later, running on Netgate appliances, AWS or Azure virtual instances.  Netgate Nexus controllers may work on third-party enterprise class hardware, but this is not guaranteed and we caution against it*. In order to check for device eligibility, enable Netgate Nexus and visit the License menu on the your proposed third-party devices. If your hardware is not supported, an error message will be displayed. Clients must be able to access your Controller. 

*Air-gapped, offline, virtual and some hardware systems without serial numbers or other identifiers are not eligible for management through the multi-instance management software with the Netgate Nexus controller.
