Do I need to buy one license of SANmp for each computer?
Yes, each license of SANmp/iSANmp includes a USB dongle, which is required to be installed directly into each computer where you will use the software. The USB dongle is a portable license, meaning, you can easily transfer it if you replace an old computer or if, for example, you switch from a Windows computer to a Mac computer.
Does SANmp include the globalSAN iSCSI Initiator?
The globalSAN iSCSI Initiator is a separate product and is not included with SANmp/iSANmp; it is sold and licensed separately.

Is SANmp difficult to administer?
Not at all. We understand that you may not have a dedicated IT staff, so we focus on keeping things easy to setup, use and maintain….
SANmp requires no server or metadata controller, which makes it a perfect choice for companies without an IT department. Simply install SANmp and within minutes you can be safely sharing all of your Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage.
What if I just want to share iSCSI? Is there an iSCSI-only version of SANmp?
Yes. If you only want to share iSCSI, then iSANmp is what you need.
iSANmp is identical to SANmp — easy to use SAN sharing software, same great features, no extra servers, no metadata networks, compatible with Final Cut Pro, Avid, Adobe, Pro Tools, Mac and PC, most arrays, etc. — but it’s iSCSI-only (instead of Fibre Channel and iSCSI) and at half the price it’s the perfect solution for budget minded, small to medium sized businesses and do-it-yourselfers.
You can download and try SANmp/iSANmp and install it on an unlimited number of workstations.
Where can I find more information about SANmp?
We recommend you explore the Support Center for more information. You can also learn more from the installed user guides.
