Managing Your Licenses<br />

3.14.1 Working with Licenses<br />

To work with licenses, you need to install the purchased licenses on the device. It is<br />

recommended to install and to remove licenses using the License Manager tool. Obtain this<br />

tool free of charge from <strong>Harmonic</strong> customer support.<br />

For instructions on how to install, remove, or move licenses across the <strong>NSG</strong> devices, see<br />

License Manager documentation.<br />

For the device to operate according to the purchased license you need to do the following:<br />

Table 3-13: Claiming a License<br />

Action<br />

Install a license on the device<br />

Assign a license<br />

Viewing license status<br />

Remove a license from the device<br />

Explanation<br />

Licenses are received from <strong>Harmonic</strong> as numbered<br />

License Packs, and need to be installed onto the <strong>NSG</strong><br />

device. To instal, use the License Manager.<br />

In rare cases, install the license via the web client.<br />

See page 60.<br />

Activate a license per each QAM-RF channel. If the<br />

requested licenses are installed on the <strong>NSG</strong> device,<br />

after the configuration is applied, the relevant license<br />

is enabled on this QAM-RF channel.<br />

View license status:<br />

• At the top section of the Assign Licenses tab<br />

• Licenses Summary tab<br />

To remove installed licenses, see License Manager.<br />

To view deleted licenses, see page 61.<br />

Licenses are limited by time and an alarm is issued 24 and 72 hours before the license<br />

expires. Once a license is expired, <strong>NSG</strong> <strong>9000</strong>-<strong>6G</strong> disables the channels from the first channel<br />

in the first port of the first slot regardless of the channel that has expired.<br />

3.14.1.1 Assigning a License<br />

When assigning a license, you activate a license per each QAM-RF channel. If the requested<br />

licenses are installed on the <strong>NSG</strong> device, after the configuration is applied, the relevant<br />

license is assigned/enabled on this QAM-RF channel.<br />
