Upgrading Licenses

Depending on the specific platform type and the licenses bought, you can upgrade the software
capabilities and/or throughput license of Radware platforms using the licensing mechanism.
Note: For more information on licenses, contact Radware Technical Support.
When you order a part number for the license upgrade, you will receive a new license code and
depending on the type of upgrade, a RAM extension that you should physically install in the
platform.
Licensing Mechanism
To change the license, you need to insert a new license code. The license provided to you, is a one-
time license, meaning that once this license is changed, the old license code cannot be re-used.For
example, if an APSolute OS license was given to you on a trial basis and not purchased, Radware
provides you with another license. The old license cannot be reused without APSolute OS support.
The license is based on the MAC address of the platform, and on a license ID that is changed every
time a new license is inserted. To get a license upgrade, you need to send the MAC address and the
current license ID of the platform.
To perform a license downgrade, send the MAC address and the current license ID of the platform.
Once you receive and insert this new license, a screen capture of the License Upgrade window, or
the output of
system license get
using the new license.
