10.6 Managing License Key

The Samsung Electronics Common License Method (SLM) is applied to Version 1.5 or
newer of the APC system.
Therefore, SLM licensing is applied to new websites that are installed using Version 1.5 or
later.
However, if Version 1.4 is upgraded to Version 1.5, the existing license key is used without
any modification. The existing license which is not SLM must be installed and used also in
the case of expanding or reissuing the APC system.
In this document, license keys supported by Version 1.4 or later are referred to as 'old
license keys' and license keys supported by Version 1.5 or later are referred to as
'Activation keys'.
These details are summarized in the table below.

offered:

10.6.1 Managing SLM License (Activation) Key
An SLM activation key can have differences in regard to the number of manageable APs,
whether to support the VQM function, whether to support the firewall function, and the
period of use of a function.
Every system has a unique activation key and activation keys are provided in the form of
encrypted files.
To clear an SLM activation key installed in a system, the deactivation command needs to
be executed and after the execution of the command, a deactivation key is issued to notify
that clearing has been completed successfully.
