Managing URL Filtering Licenses

URL Filtering license for the selected partners-to use the content database is issued for a duration of one year for an AP. Dashboard warnings are issued thirty days before the end of the license term.

You can add licenses over time. For example, you can purchase 100 one-year licenses on January 1st and add another 200 one-year licenses in May. The controller receives a new expiry date for the combined license count of 300 APs.

  • To view license details such as start date, end date, and capacity, navigate to Administration > Administration > Licenses > Installed Licenses.

For more information on importing installed licenses, synchronizing the controller with the license server, and downloading license files, refer RUCKUS SmartZone Software Licensing Guide.

When the license capacity is exhausted, event code 1281 is triggered. When the license period expires, alarm code 8003 is generated, indicating that the URL filtering server is unreachable. For more information, refer RUCKUS SmartZone Alarms and Events Guide.

Note: A permissive license similar to the BSD 2-Clause License, but with a 3rd clause that prohibits others from using the name of the project or its contributors to promote derived products without written consent.
