Managing Licenses in Greenhouse

Greenhouse is Eggplant's portal for viewing your Eggplant Performance license assets, including temporary non-node-locked keys that have been generated for your use. If you are not a current Eggplant customer, your account manager will provide access to evaluation keys (node-locked or non-node-locked).

Eggplant Performance licenses are either Node Locked Expiring, or Floating Expiring. For more information, see Understanding Eggplant Performance license types.
