License Key Bandwidth Limits

If you notice that warning messages that include "License key bandwidth limit hit" are being emitted to your traffic manager's event log then you are hitting your license's configured bandwidth limit.

If your Zeus Traffic Manager is using loopback virtual servers and you have a bandwidth limit you need to remember that your traffic manager will reach that limit more quickly.

All traffic that leaves a virtual server and is sent to its clients is counted towards the bandwidth limit. This will also include traffic that is looped-back to the same Traffic Manager.

If you are regularly reaching your bandwidth limit you should contact the provider of your traffic manager to upgrade your license keys.

If you wish to be notified automatically when this situation occurs you can create an Alert Mapping which could, for example, send an e-mail when the "bwlimited" event is encountered.
