Licensing

The server

Cloud or self-hosted, you need a Knocknoc server, and once you have it up and running you will be able to login to the admin panel and start configuration.

For locally hosted servers, hereHere is the self-hosted install guide https://docs.knocknoc.io/books/admin-guide/page/server-installation.

The agent

The agents perform the backend work of updating ACLs, so you need at least one, even if it's on the same machine as theKnocknoc server.

Here is the guide for installing the agent https://docs.knocknoc.io/books/admin-guide/page/agent-installationinstall guide.
