Before activating a GTL license file, check that the GTL license file is suffixed with .dat. After
obtaining a GTL license file, use a notepad program to check whether the ESN on the MPU is
the same as that in the GTL license file.
A GTL license file has two versions, namely, Demo and Comm.

The reservation period refers to the number of days for which you can continue to use a function
after the relevant license expires. The system prompts you with a message in the reservation
period. If you intend to continue to use the GTL license file, apply for a new GTL license.

Activating a new GTL license for the first time
If you have purchased a new device, you need to apply for and purchase a GTL license file
to obtain the authorization of related service modules. After the GTL license file is
activated, the license-controlled service modules can be used.
Activating an updated GTL license file
If a device has an activated GTL license file but the GTL license file has expired, you need
to apply for a new GTL license file, update it, and then activate it. Otherwise, the GTL
license file will become invalid upon expiration. As a result, function modules will be
disabled and services will be interrupted.
Before updating a GTL license file, check whether a new GTL license needs to be applied
for. If the authorization value of the new GTL license file is smaller than that of the current
GTL license file, an interactive message is displayed to prompt you whether to activate the
new GTL license file.
– If you enter Y, the system informs you of a GTL license file update success.
– If you enter N, the system informs you of a GTL license update failure, and displays
the status of the current GTL license file.
NOTE
The GTL license file is suffixed with .dat.
