No – in fact, we do not recommend deploying Agents on your database servers. Agents should be deployed in your environment in a hub-and-spoke relationship to the QuerySurge application server. Any boxes or VMs with sufficient resources (see questions above) to perform QuerySurge tasks can be used, including the Testers’ desktops.

Yes. If you deployed your Trial installation on the same hardware as you plan for your production QuerySurge installation, you’re all set – all we need to do is apply your new license to your existing QuerySurge instance. Everything else stays the same.
If you need to move your queries from your trial QuerySurge instance to your ​“permanent” QuerySurge installation, please contact us or get in touch with your account manager. We’ll be happy to help you!
