Managing Software Licenses
• In the Port field, enter the port number for the management IP address. If the HTTPS server
configured on a WAAS Express device is using a different port than the default of 443, configure
the same port here.
Note If the WAAS Central Manager cannot contact a device using the primary IP address, it attempts
to communicate using the Management IP address.
Step 6 In the Comments field, enter any comments that you want to appear for this device.
Step 7 Click Submit.
Managing Software Licenses
WAAS software version 4.1.1 introduces software licenses that enable specific WAAS optimization and
acceleration features. A software license must be installed and configured before the features that it
enables will operate.
Table 1-1 lists the software licenses that may be purchased and the features that each license enables.
Licenses are installed and managed only on individual WAE devices, not device groups. Not all licenses
are supported on all devices. A WAAS Central Manager device requires only the Enterprise license and
no other licenses can be configured.
Note WAAS Express licenses are managed by using the router CLI command license install, not from the
WAAS Central Manager. WAAS Express devices do not use the same kind of licenses as WAAS devices
do. They use a single license that enables the WAAS Express optimization feature.
To add a license to a WAE from the WAAS Central Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name. (Do not choose a Central
Manager device because you must use the CLI to manage licenses on Central Managers.)
Step 2 Choose Admin > History > License Management.
