You can upgrade an active license offline by navigating to System > License.

Before You Begin

Before completing the steps below, make sure you do the following:

Have an Ethernet connection for your first bootup of the Litmus Edge device after installation.
Have access to a browser that is connected to the internet to complete this activation.
