1

Summary:

This procedure demonstrates how to generate the license key file required for the Netmaster NMS.

Cause:

The PTP Netmaster NMS requires a license key file in order to operate beyond the 30 day temporary license period. Licenses are generated based on the number of Tx Channels (TRX) and Open SNMP Elements managed by the NMS. For example, one PTP 820C can require a license for up to two TRX, and one 820F can require up to 5 TRX.

Solution:

Follow the steps as shown below to submit a license request and apply the license key file to the NMS.

  1. Complete installation of the NMS and select ‘Use temporary license’ during the Import License step
