Overview
License-based features require a license to run on your device. The features include increase of online AP number, Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), Intelligent Application Aware (IAA), and Radio Frequency Prevention (RFP). To use a license-based feature, you must obtain a license.
The following types of licenses are available depending on validity period:
· Official—An official license never expires.
· Trial—A trial license has a trial period, and the feature becomes unusable when the trial period expires. You must purchase an official license for the feature.
The following types of licenses are available depending on the requirement for license activation:
· Standard—To activate a standard license, you must provide the license key and activation key.
· Enhanced—To activate an enhanced license, you only need to provide the activation key.
This document describes how to license a feature for the H3C WX series. The WX series includes access controllers, unified wired-WLAN modules, and switching engines on unified wired-WLAN switches.
