Managing licenses
The portal acts as a license server for your cloud appliances. Licenses are stored on the portal and each license is associated with a one-time token that is unique to it. You use the one-time tokens to associate a specific appliance with a specific license.
Note: When a license expires, the appliance automatically stops the optimization service. The license expires on the termination date regardless of whether you use it.
