After completing the 60-day free trial of Splunk Enterprise, you can convert to a perpetual free license for a standalone, single-instance use installation. The Free license does not expire, but it is subject to restrictions and does not include all features.

  • The Free license is for a standalone, single-instance use only installation.
  • The Free license gives limited access to Splunk Enterprise features and does not support all Operating Systems. 
  • The Free license allows you to index 500 MB per day. If you exceed that, you will receive a license violation warning. 
  • The Free license prevents searching if there are license violation warnings. 


To get a perpetual free license for Splunk Enterprise:

  • Log in to your user account on splunk.com (create an account if you don’t have one). 
  • Download the latest version of Splunk Enterprise for your operating system (not all Operating Systems are supported in the free version).
  • Follow installation instructions for your operating system.
