License Activation

Scenarios to activate Cloud licenses

Each EnGenius Cloud Pro license comes with a validity period (depends on the license type you purchased) and will remain active after being activated until it is expired.

There are two ways to activate a license

Diagram 3 - Scenarios to activate Cloud licenses

Manual Activation

Associate licenses to the device and assign the device to a Network

When you assign this license-associated device to any network in your organization, the license will start to activate and operate during its validity period. For example, Device A/B are assigned to Network 123 and 456, so AP-License 1 and 2 are activated from the date they are assigned to the Networks.

The license associated with the device will not be activated during the planning period until the device is assigned to Network and apply the configuration.

Forced Activation

No license association or network assignment after 90 days of licenses issued

Suppose you have never associated the license with any device, or the license-associated device has not been assigned to any managed network. In that case, this license will be automatically turned into an active state after it is issued for 90 days. (Device C, diagram 3)

After a license is forced activation, the validity period would start to burn. No matter the license is associated with a device or not.
