How to Manage Your Licenses

Note: The ProSafe NMS200 Network Management System comes with a five-device test capability that has no expiration date (this default limits the number of devices that can be managed through the software to five devices). Various license packs are available when you are ready to expand beyond this five-device test default. Go to www.netgear.com/nms200 for more information about licenses.
