Everything you need to know about your Free Teltonika RMS Credit
What Are Free Teltonika RMS Credits?
Every Teltonika Networks router, gateway, and IoT device comes with a 30-day free Teltonika RMS credit included at no additional cost. This gives you immediate access to Teltonika’s powerful cloud-based device management platform from the moment you connect your first device.
Each free credit provides 30 days of full RMS functionality for one device, allowing you to remotely monitor, configure, troubleshoot, and manage your Teltonika equipment from anywhere in the world.
How Your Free Teltonika Credit Is Automatically Applied
The free RMS credit system is designed to be completely automatic – there’s no code to redeem, no voucher to enter, and no manual activation required.
Here’s exactly what happens:
When you add your Teltonika device to your RMS account for the first time, the 30-day free trial period begins automatically. The device immediately gains full management access, and you can start using all RMS features right away.
Your RMS dashboard will show the device as “managed” with a countdown indicating how many days remain in your free trial period. This automatic activation applies whether you’re connecting your very first router or your hundredth device.
What You Get With Your Free Credit
Your 30-day free RMS access includes the complete feature set:
Remote Configuration – Make configuration changes to your device from the RMS web interface without needing to access the local WebUI
- Real-Time Monitoring – Track device status, connection quality, data usage, and system health metrics in real-time
- Firmware Management – Deploy firmware updates remotely across single devices or entire fleets
- VPN Services – Establish secure VPN connections to your devices for remote troubleshooting and network access
- Alerts & Notifications – Receive automated alerts when devices go offline, experience connection issues, or trigger custom parameters
- Task Automation – Schedule configuration changes, firmware updates, and routine maintenance tasks
- Fleet Management Tools – Organize devices into groups, apply bulk configurations, and manage multiple sites from a single interface
From Your First Router to Your 100th Device
The free Teltonika RMS credit system scales perfectly whether you’re deploying a single router or managing an extensive IoT network.
Single Device Deployment
When you purchase your first Teltonika router, you get immediate 30-day access to RMS. This gives you time to evaluate the platform, set up your monitoring preferences, and decide if you want to continue with paid management after the trial ends.
Growing Your Network (2-20 Devices)
As you add more devices, each one receives its own 30-day free period starting from when it first connects to RMS. This means if you add devices gradually over several months, you’ll have staggered free trial periods – not all expiring at once.
Large-Scale Deployments (20-100+ Devices)
For larger fleets, the free credits give you 30 days to fully deploy and test your network before committing to ongoing management costs. Since each device’s free period starts when it connects, you can deploy in phases without wasting free trial time on devices still in storage.
Your RMS account shows a clear overview of all devices, their management status, and when each free period expires, making it easy to plan your credit purchases efficiently.
Understanding the RMS Account Structure
Free credits work within Teltonika’s RMS company account system:
Company Account – When you register for RMS, you create a company account. All your devices and credits are managed within this single account.
Credit Pool – After your free trials expire, any credits you purchase go into a shared pool for your company account. You can allocate these credits to any device as needed.
Device Management Status – Each device shows as either “Trial” (using free credit), “Managed” (using paid credits), or “Unmanaged” (no active credits).
User Permissions – You can add multiple users to your company account with different permission levels, all accessing the same pool of devices and credits.
What Happens After 30 Days?
When your free 30-day period expires, you have two options:
Continue With Paid Management
Purchase RMS credits to maintain remote management access. Credits are available in various packages:
- Monthly credits (30 days per device)
- 6-month management packs
- 12-month management packs
- 36-month management packs
Longer-term packs typically offer better value per month and reduce administrative overhead.
Discontinue RMS Management
If you choose not to purchase credits, your device simply reverts to “unmanaged” status. The device continues to function normally with all its routing, VPN, and connectivity features – you just lose the remote cloud management capabilities.
You can always reactivate RMS management later by purchasing credits, with no penalty or loss of device configuration.
Managing Multiple Devices Efficiently
For businesses managing multiple Teltonika devices, here are the key strategies:
Track Expiry Dates
Your RMS dashboard shows when each device’s management period expires. Set up calendar reminders or use RMS’s notification system to alert you before credits run out on critical devices.
Staggered vs Synchronized Renewals
If you add devices over time, their free trials (and subsequent credit periods) will be staggered. You can either:
- Manage renewals individually as they expire
- Synchronize all devices to a single renewal date by purchasing different credit lengths
Bulk Credit Purchase
For large deployments, purchase credits in bulk. The shared credit pool means you can buy, for example, 100 x 12-month credits and allocate them across your fleet as needed.
Priority Device Management
You don’t need to manage every device through RMS. Many businesses keep critical infrastructure devices (main routers, key gateways) under RMS management while managing less critical devices locally.
Common Questions About Free Credits
Can I extend my free trial beyond 30 days?
No, the free trial is strictly 30 days per device. However, since each device’s trial starts when it first connects, deploying devices gradually effectively extends your evaluation period across your fleet.
What if I remove a device and add it back later?
Once a device has used its 30-day free credit, that’s it – you won’t get another free trial if you remove and re-add the same device. The free credit is a one-time offer per serial number.
Can I transfer free credits between accounts?
No, free credits are tied to the specific device and the account it first connects to. They cannot be transferred, sold, or moved to different RMS accounts.
Do I need a credit card to use the free trial?
No, the 30-day free RMS access requires no payment details. You only need payment information when purchasing credits after the trial expires.
What happens to my device configurations if I don’t renew?
All configurations remain on your device. You simply lose the ability to make changes remotely via RMS. Your device continues operating with its existing settings.
