t the pricing model escalates pretty rapidly because they count every OBJEC=
T you monitor, not every device. So if I am looking at Bytes In, Bytes Out=
, Errors In, etc on a single interface those are all counted as a separate =
OBJECT against your license count. You really have to be more selective ab=
out what you want to see which to me is really inconvenient because often y=
