Overview
licensing requires customers to use
features through software license keys purchased and obtained from
. Once purchased, customers install and manage
licenses using the Embedded Management Application (EMA) License Management application.
License files are bound to the SBC's host ID. For chassis-based systems (SBC 51x0, 52x0, 7000), the host ID is the serial number attached to the hardware.

The SBC SWe uses the Virtual Machine UUID as the host ID. |
For a stand-alone SBC, the machine’s host ID must be contained in the license file to be valid. Likewise, for a
HA pair the host ID of both machines must be contained in the license file to be valid.
License files can contain up to two serial numbers (or UUIDs).Serial Numbers (SBC 51x0, 52x0, 7000)
To obtain the serial number of either a stand-alone or a HA pair SBC, login to the SBC EMA and navigate to Monitoring > Dashboard > System Status. The System Status window appears. The serial number(s) display in the third column of the Server Status table as depicted in the examples below.
