Add/Upgrade a Node-locked License to an Edge Device
From the Edge Device Detail's License tab, you can add a Node-locked license to an edge device or upgrade an existing Node-locked License.
To access the Edge Device Detail license tab:
- Log in to Litmus Edge Manager.
- Select the appropriate company and project.
- From the Navigation panel, select Edge Devices. The Edge Devices pane appears.
- Click an edge device ID link in the Edge Devices pane. The selected Edge Device Details page open with the Info tab.
- From Edge Device Details page, select the License tab.
A license can only be added if there is no existing Node-locked license.
To prepare to add a license:
- From the Edge Device Details' License tab, scroll down, and click Add License.
The License user interface expands with the Add a New License section. By default, the Online License Activation tab appears.
A license must exist before it can be upgraded.
To prepare to upgrade a license:
- From the Edge Device Details' License tab, scroll down, and for the license to be upgraded, click Upgrade License.
The License user interface expands with the Upgrade License section. By default, the Upgrade License Online tab appears.
The process for adding a new license and upgrading an existing license are identical. The only difference is that for upgrading an existing license, the new post-upgrade license will replace the old pre-upgrade license.
