Three ways to run it
Same product in each. Pick the one your environment already supports.
Windows Server
The installer runs on Windows Server 2016 or later, on a virtual or physical machine in your own datacentre or cloud account. The quickest route to a first report.
Kubernetes (Helm)
A Helm chart for your own Linux cluster, from a single node to a multi-node deployment.
Air-gapped
Either of the above with no outbound connectivity. Licence activation and updates are handled offline.
Get Exivity Core
Enter your work email and the download link for the Windows installer appears here straight away. On Kubernetes you install from our Helm repository instead; the installation guides below cover both.
Reports need a licence key. If you do not have one yet, ask us for a trial key.
Rather have us look at your environment first? We recommend the deployment that fits the infrastructure you want to meter.
No credit card. We use your email address for this download and to follow up on your evaluation, and for nothing else.
From install to a rated report
The steps are the same on every deployment. The time is dominated by how quickly you can get credentials for the first source.
- 01Install
Run the installer or install the Helm chart with your licence key, then sign in to the web interface.
- 02Connect a source
Pick an extractor: public cloud, virtualisation, storage, network, licences, AI tokens.
- 03Set the rates
Load a rate card or your contract terms. Rating runs against the consumption you extracted.
- 04First report
A rated charge record per consumer, and the first invoice-ready report.

The install stays where it is. A licence key replaces the evaluation key; nothing is reinstalled and no data moves.
