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.

Either restart the application server or wait up to 15 minutes before a license modification

takes effect whenever you obtain licenses for more than the five-device default.

To activate additional licenses:

1. Purchase your additional license pack from NETGEAR.

a. Go to www.netgear.com/nms200 and click Buy netgear.com ().

Follow the instructions.

b. Go to www.doradosoftware.com/netgear as directed for further instructions.

You receive your license file when you are done with this step.

2. Click License Management on the Quick Navigation portlet.
