Managing Software Feature Licenses 7
When each evaluation period expires the following behavior occurs:
z The wireless LAN switch will automatically backup the startup
configuration and reboot itself at midnight (time in accordance with the
system clock)
z All permanently enabled licenses will be unaffected. The expired evaluation
licensed feature will no longer be available, shown as
Expired in the WebUI.
z The Software License Key may be reapplied to the switch, provided the 90
day evaluation time for that feature has not been reached. If the maximum
evaluation time for the evaluation license has been reached, the startup
configuration will still be backed up. However, the feature can now only be
re-enabled with a permanent license key.
Deleting a License Key
To remove a license from a system:
1. Navigate to the
Maintenance > License Management page.
2 Select the feature / Service Type to be removed and click
Delete (permanent
license keys) or Disable (evaluation license keys)
to the right of the feature entry in
the License Table.
3 If the feature to be deleted is under the trial period of an evaluation license,
no key will be generated. If the feature is a fully licensed feature, deleting
the feature will result in the feature key being displayed.
N
OTE—If you are unable to delete a license key on a disabled or damaged sys-
tem that is subsequently returned, you can reinstall this license on
another machine. The factory will take the necessary steps to remove
the license key.
Moving Licenses
It may become necessary to move licenses from one chassis to the other or
simply delete the license for future use. To move licenses, delete the license
from the chassis as described above in “Deleting a License Key ”. Then install
the license on the new switch using that switch’s serial number to generate
the license key.
Switch Resetting
System Reboot
Rebooting or resetting a wireless LAN switch will have no effect on licensing,
whether permanent or evaluation.
