To monitor the databases concurrently, the Controller requires a license for the total number of databases. Though all the versions of the Database Agent are compatible, AppDynamics recommends Database Agent >=21.2 for Infrastructure-based Licensing Model.

For Database Agent license details, see License Entitlements and Restrictions.

Manage Licenses in the Controller

To view and manage license consumption in the Controller, see Observe License Usage.

Transfer a License Between Databases

A database license is allocated to the first agents that register with the Controller up to the licensed limit. 

To transfer a license for the Database Agent to another database, you simply remove the Collector for the old database and then add a new Collector for the database you want to monitor instead. See Add Database Collectors.

If you disable a collector, it still consumes a license.
