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 />

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 />
