      • You may select chassis IP to select "Delete" option, otherwise it could be grayed out.
 
 

How to install a License File?

  1. Launch an STC GUI and connect to the chassis that the license will be installed on. Ports do not need to be reserved.
  2. Under Tools -> Licensing Management..., click INSTALL. Navigate to the location where the license file (the .lic file) is located.  ***
  3. Then click OK to exit that window and then Exit the GUI
  4. enlightened Relaunch the GUI and Connect to the Chassis and the License will take effect
 





*** When installing a License file, make sure that the .lic file is saved locally and not in a Shared folder (Such as a OneDrive folder), otherwise you might see an unknow license location error like the one documented in SOL14137
