  • Page 97: Licensing

    • Maintenance releases The MRD 7000 will only accept software files which were released before or during the active SSA period. Software updates released following the expiration of the SSA will be rejected on upload, until the product’s SSA has been re-activated. The actual SSA information is maintained on the product itself and can be updated by applying a license key via the web user interface.

    MRD 7000 – User Manual Once the SSA period has expired, customers are free to keep using the software version they already have or other versions from before the expiration date but applying newer versions will require an extended SSA.
