IMPORTANT:

License-based features and attributes of licenses might change with software version over time. This document contains information about only licenses for software versions shipped with the multiservice security gateways and some of the information might change over time. To obtain the most up-to-date information about licenses or information about licenses for software versions not listed in this document, contact your H3C sales representative or contact H3C Support.

IMPORTANT:

The M9000 series multiservice security gateways support trial licenses and formal licenses. This document covers only formal licenses.

NOTE:

·     Trial (temporary) license—You can contact your H3C sales representative or contact H3C Support to obtain trial licenses to verify the functionality of premium features so you can make an educated purchase decision. A trial license is time limited and cannot be uninstalled or transferred. When a trial license expires, the license-based feature becomes unavailable. To continue to use the feature, you must purchase and install a formal license for it.

·     Formal license—To gain most from a license-based feature, purchase a formal license for it from authorized channels. For information about registering, installing, and managing a license, see H3C Security Products Licensing Guide (Comware 7). When a formal license expires, the license-based feature becomes unavailable. To continue to use the feature, you must purchase and install a new formal license for it. You cannot uninstall or transfer a formal license. To transfer a formal license from one device to another device, you must contact your H3C sales representative or contact H3C Support.

·     Number of licenses per failover deployment—For a failover deployment, you must install the same set of licenses on each node in the deployment to ensure service continuity after an active/standby switchover.
