Sonar product subscriptions

Enable and manage Advanced Security, Sonar Vortex, Remediation Agent, and Hunter Agent subscriptions in SonarQube Server, including consumption and overage. This page is for SonarQube Server 2026.5.

SonarQube Server Enterprise and Data Center editions support the following product subscriptions:

• Advanced Security: detects vulnerabilities and malicious packages in third-party dependencies, with quality gates to prevent new risks from entering your codebase.
• Sonar Vortex: provides guidance to the agent and automatically analyzes files modified by an AI coding agent to surface issues in seconds.
• Remediation Agent: automatically generates and verifies code fixes for security, reliability, and maintainability issues, creating ready-to-review pull requests.
• Hunter Agent: finds high-impact security flaws that static analysis misses, running entirely on Sonar's infrastructure.

Sonar Vortex, Remediation Agent, and Hunter Agent must be activated from the Active products table on the License manager page (see Activating a product subscription), using a LicenseSpring-managed license rather than a server ID-based one. See License types and connectivity for the difference between the two.

To trial or purchase any of these products, contact our Sales team. See Plans and Pricing.

Active products

After your purchase is confirmed, your products appear in the Active products table on the License manager page. To open License manager, go to Administration > Configuration > License manager.

The table has four columns:

• Products: the product name.
• Status: whether the product is enabled or awaiting activation.
• Base usage limit: your consumption against the base allowance included in your subscription.
• Overage limit: your consumption against the overage cap you set to control overage costs.

Enable a product

After purchasing a subscription, the Sonar sales team enables your product in LicenseSpring. Once enabled, activate each product individually before using it. In the Status column next to the product, select Enable now, then follow the on-screen instructions and agree to the terms of use to complete activation.

Track consumption

The Base usage limit and Overage limit columns show how much of your base allowance and overage cap have been consumed. Each product tracks consumption in the following units:

Product	Unit	Resets
Advanced Security	Full access	Not applicable
Sonar Vortex	What counts as a tool call	Monthly
Remediation Agent	What counts as a suggestion	Monthly
Hunter Agent	What counts as a scan unit	At license renewal

Hunter Agent's counter resets at the end of your contract.

Your Purchased LOC limit is a fixed allocation from your license and doesn't reset. However, your LOC overage limit will reset monthly. For complete details, see the LOC overage article.

Usage notifications

Administrators receive email notifications when consumption reaches the following thresholds:

• 80% of the base usage allowance is consumed.
• 100% of the base usage allowance is consumed.

Lines of Code notifications on your primary subscription work differently: instead of fixed thresholds, you set a single customizable threshold that triggers a notification when your remaining Purchased LOC falls below it. See the Lines of Code page for more information.

To avoid being blocked when your base allowance runs out, activate overage in advance. See the Overage activation page.

Overage activation

For products that support overage, the Overage limit column shows your current consumption against the overage cap. To activate or manage overage, see the Overage activation page.

Configure an LLM provider

AI agents in SonarQube Server require access to a large language model (LLM). Register an LLM provider once for the whole instance, then select it on each agent's page under Administration > Configuration > AI capabilities.

For setup instructions, see the LLM providers page.
