Installing Licenses

You have to install proper licenses before you start using AMF Security.
There are two types of licenses: "Base" and "Addon".
Note
After registering the basic license, if you delete or add the basic license during operation of the OpenFlow and AMF Application Proxy network, OpenFlow and AMF Application Proxy may not operate normally.
Therefore, disconnect AMF security from the operating network before removing or adding a registered base license.

If the base license is removed or added during operation and AMF Application Proxy does not work properly, restart AMF security.
To install the license, follow the steps:
  1. Click the "License page" in the message displayed at the top of the setting screen.

  2. The System Settings > License page is displayed. Click the "Add" button.

  3. The License dialog is displayed. Enter the "Serial Number" and "Authentication Key" shown on the license certificate and click the "Submit" button.

  4. If the "Name" and "Serial Number" of the registered license are displayed on the System Settings > License page, the installation is successful.

License installation is complete. You can use AMF Security.
