This screen displays the activation date and the expiration date of the current license. You would use the Update License function if your license has changed, for example if:

  • You have renewed support
  • You have renewed your license
  • You have changed your license type

Before updating the license in the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster, you must either contact your Progress Kemp representative or use the Upgrade option (to update your license). After you have contacted Progress Kemp or used the Upgrade option, there are two ways to upgrade a license – using the Online method and using the Offline method. For more information and instructions, refer to the Licensing, Feature Description. A reboot is recommended after updating the license.

Licensing is done in the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster and is based on the maximum number of tenants that can be started. This means that the LoadMaster tenants do not need to be licensed individually. The amount of tenants is limited based on the model purchased. Refer to the following page for details about the recommended and maximum number of tenants based on each model: Multi-Tenant LoadMaster Appliances.

To update the license of an individual VNF, first update the license on the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster, then click the Update License button for the relevant VNF on the VNF Status screen. If the VNF is running, you must restart it to apply the new license. To restart a VNF, go to Instance Management > Virtual Network Functions (VNF) Status, click Stop on the relevant VNF and then click Start to restart it.

Note: If you update the VNF license, the VNF bal user password is reset to the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster bal user password.
