How do I view the NFM-P license information?

Steps
 

To view the NFM-P license information in the client GUI:

Note: You can also list equipment license information for one NE or the entire network using the NFM-P Equipment Manager; see “Inventory management” in the NSP NFM-P User Guide.

  1. Choose Help→License Information from the NFM-P main menu. The NSP Network Functions Manager - Packet License (Edit) form opens.

  2. View the license information in the following panels:

    • License Information—basic license and system information

    • Feature Packages—installed NSP feature packages

    • Options—optional management function capacities

    • Licensed Limits—the number of consumed and remaining license points for capacity-based licensing objects such as equipment

  3. A highlighted entry in the Licensed Limits panel is alarmed, and may indicate that the license capacity is approaching or has reached the license limit. To view the current alarms against an entry, double-click on the entry and click on the Faults tab of the form that opens.

  4. Close the open forms, as required.

An NFM-P license file is digitally signed. If you rename or modify the license XML file, the NFM-P rejects the license.

Do not rename or modify the XML file inside a compressed license file.

To verify the contents of an NFM-P license file, for example, if you are unsure which file contains a specific license option or number of license points:

Note: A license file does not include an object that has a licensed quantity of zero.

  1. Uncompress the license zip file.

  2. View the contents of the contained XML file.

  3. Close the file.
