Performing Licensing 
 
Version 5.0 and later features a new, centralized licensing procedure: HiPath License Management. The procedure is used in all HiPath products, for example communication systems, workpoint clients, and applications.
A grace period of 30 days begins when HiPath 5000 is started up. Licensing must be performed for all features, interfaces and products which are subject to mandatory licensing within this grace period.
HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E comes with a customer-specific file which is used by the Customer License Agent CLA to generate a GPCF (Grace Period Configuration File) file. This file ensures that the maximum expansion of all features that are subject to mandatory licensing is possible within the 30-day grace period. The system or systems are not licensed.
The system falls into licensing default if licensing is not performed within the 30-day grace period. This means that features which subject to mandatory licensing will suffer from reduced functionality.
Please refer to Chapter 8 "Licensing" for information on how to proceed.
