ID Before Generating a Trial License
Before generating an
Trial License, do the following:
- Confirm the was first installed and activated (whether on-premises or in the public cloud) with Release 9.0.0 or later, 8.1.5 or later, or Release 8.0.4 software (to identify the 's software release, refer to Viewing the Software Version and Hardware ID (SBC 1000/2000, SBC SWe Edge)). If the was initially installed and activated with Release 8.1.0 or 8.0.3 or earlier, do not generate a license file from this portal at this time. Instead, disregard all further actions on this page and contact Ribbon support for the next steps.

- When submitting the ID to generate the license file, confirm you are using the correct ID value: a 32 character string found in the Release 9.0.0, 8.0.4, or 8.1.5 System Overview display.
Before generating a license, identify the
ID in System Overview as follows:
- In the WebUI, click the System tab.
- In the System page, click the Overview tab.
