Special Feature Licences

A special licence and password are required to activate features other than the 
standard software version. Licences and passwords for special features are 
separate from those for a standard software version.

A special feature licence can be a 30-day trial licence or a full licence (unlimited 
time). Each licence is specific to a router serial number and cannot be 
transferred from one router to another.

You must order passwords for special feature licences from your authorised 
distributor or reseller. Specify the special feature licence bundle and the serial 
number of the router on which the special feature licences are to be enabled.

See 

“Special feature licences” on page 5-16 of Chapter 5, Managing 

Configuration Files and Software Versions

 for:

information about which software features require a special feature licence

instructions for enabling special feature licences
