Step	Activity (Remarks)
1.	Web-based Management (WBM) (in the event that the MAC addresses are not already available):
	Determine the MAC addresses (locking IDs) of all HG 1500 boards belonging to the HiPath 3000 system to be upgraded.   If this involves the networking of several HiPath 3000 systems, then the MAC addresses (locking IDs) of all available HG 1500 boards are to be determined.
2.	HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E (In cases where the MAC addresses are not already available.):
	A single HiPath 3000 system or several networked HiPath 3000 systems must be upgraded without HiPath 5000 RSM:   The MAC address of the associated control board should be determined for every system.	Upgrading involves several networked HiPath 3000 systems with HiPath 5000 RSM:   The MAC address of the control board is to be determined solely for the HiPath 3000 system with the lowest node number (node ID).
3.	HiPath License Management:
	Invoke the Central License Server CLS via: https://www.central-license-server.com/   Select the language version for the License Management Center.   Log on by entering the user name and password.
4.	Activate the "View Used Licenses and Certificates" function under "Management of Used Licenses".   Different search criteria are displayed in order to invoke the licenses to be converted (B channels of HG 1500 boards.)
5.	The MAC address (locking ID) of a HG 1500 board determined under step [1] should be entered in the Locking ID input field.   Click the Search button to display a list of the licenses belonging to the MAC address (locking ID).
6.	Click the Show Details button.   Details on the selected license key are displayed:    •   "Display" tab: Type and number of licensed features, customer-specific information.  •   "Transactions" tab: Actions performed for each feature
7.	Click Upgrade License.   Specify the upgrade path in the subsequent dialog.
8.	Use the upgrade path selection list to define the required upgrade (for example, HG1 500 -> HiPath 3000 V8).   Click Next.   In the subsequent dialog, define the MAC address to which the new license should be linked.
9.	The MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board to which the HG 1500 board specified under step [5] belongs should be entered in the MAC Address input field.   Click Next.
10.	Before upgrading a license key, the following content of the displayed dialog must be observed:    •   Legal notice: The licensing conditions must be accepted.  •   Notes: Notes on this procedure can be entered here. A distinction is made here between internal notes (only accessible to users authorized to create licenses) and customer notes (generally accessible).  •   Registered company and user: Company and user-specific data is displayed.  •   Upgrade details: MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board.  •   Licenses to be used: The outcome of this procedure is displayed. Example: HG 1500 V2 & V3:    -   6 features (Licenses) will be upgraded as a result of this transaction.    -   6 features (Licenses) will be disabled as a result of this transaction.     This means that all six available licenses have been linked with the new MAC address. The old link with the HG 1500 board MAC address (Locking ID) was disabled for all six licenses. Click the Execute button. The license key is upgraded.
11.	After successful execution, the message "License Key Generation Complete" appears The upgrade information and the information about the license key will be displayed.   Note: The number of pre-installed HG 1500-B channels is no longer displayed, nut only the effective total for the released licenses.
12.	Upgrading involves either a single HiPath 3000 system or several networked systems without HiPath 5000 RSM:   Repeat steps [4] to [11] for all available HG 1500 boards.   Note: The new licensing applies on a system-by-system basis. A separate license key is generated for each HiPath 3000 system.	Upgrading involves several networked HiPath 3000systems with HiPath 5000 RSM:   Repeat steps [4] to [11] for all available HG 1500 boards.   Note: New licenses apply to the entire network. In other words, a single license key is generated for the entire HiPath 3000/5000 network. This file is linked with the MAC address of the HiPath 3000 control board with the lowest node number (node ID).
13.	Open the License Management Center home page.
14.	Activate the "View Used Licenses and Certificates" function under "Management of Used Licenses".   Various search criteria are displayed for calling the recently upgraded license key.
15.	In the "Locking ID" input field, enter the control board MAC address to which the license key is linked (see step [6]).   Click the Search button to display a list of the license keys belonging to the MAC address.
16.	Select the relevant license key and click the Display Details button.   Details on the selected license key are displayed:    •   "Display" tab: Type and number of licensed features, customer-specific information.  •   "Transactions" tab: Actions performed for each feature
17.	Select Download.   In the subsequent dialog, specify the storage location for the license key you want to download.   Section 8.2.4 "Performing Licensing" describes the procedure for distributing licenses with HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E.
