Licenses

Access: System > Licenses.

All web-based products use a dedicated license, and each license grants specific usage rights for software features.

This page gives immediate information on which licenses are installed, including the expiration date and the number of nodes for which it is valid. This page also lists the Cisco license version number, which is not the same as the product’s release number.

  • To view a list of the details about a license, click the Features button.
  • To install a new license, click the Upload License button.

The lower left identifies on which host the license is installed, and where the license is located.

This chapter is specific to the web UI Licenses page. For more comprehensive information on license installation, see the Cisco WAE Server Installation Guide.
