Licenses for Evaluation—Temporary Licenses
Radware provides temporary licenses for new features that you wish to evaluate after you have
upgraded to the new version of Alteon and have installed at least one permanent license. The
temporary evaluation licenses last for 30 days, and are disabled after that period if you do not
upgrade them to be included in your permanent license. The license expiration timer is based on the
device uptime and not calendar days. To obtain temporary evaluation licenses, contact Radware
Technical Support.
You use the same command for installing permanent and evaluation licenses.

The following table describes the different ADC-VC licenses:
Throughput Licenses
The throughput license on your Alteon Application Switch limits the throughput. If the current

You use a software license key to upgrade to a model with a higher throughput. The process requires
no system reboot.
