Machine ID​

Once you have decided which license type suits you, you need to get the Trisul Machine ID that uniquely identifies the server or VM on which you are running Trisul.

Finding Out How Many Internal IPs I Have​

Before choosing a license size, you need to know how many internal IPs are active on your network at peak usage. Trisul tracks this automatically for you.

To view this information:
