Change in License due to purchase of additional functionality
If you upgrade from a temporary license or if you opt to upgrade your device to use
additional functionality for example, from IPS to IPS and NAC, you need to change the
device license by importing a new device license that can overwrite the existing one. This
can be done through the Manager during a Manager session. You do not have to log out
of an open Manager session to install the new license.

Manually assigning a device license

Manual assignment of a device license is applicable to add-on license files alone. Add-on
licenses have a unique license key. Once imported in the Manager, the license file can be
manually assigned to the matching M-series Sensor model.
Add-on licenses are applicable only to activating the NAC feature on M-series Sensors
along with IPS.
You can also revoke the manual binding of add-on licenses.
