Invalidating a License

If you don’t need to deploy and manage a switch with AmpCon-Campus, you can invalidate the AmpCon-Campus license on the switch to release this license.

Notes:

• The Hardware ID of a switch might exist in multiple AmpCon-Campus licenses. Ensure that you invalidate all AmpCon-Campus licenses on the switch.

• After you invalidate all AmpCon-Campus licenses on a switch, the switch can’t be deployed and managed with AmpCon-Campus. The switch that has been deployed will be removed from the switch list on the “Switch” page.

• You can perform three invalidation operations at most.

Procedure

1. In the AmpCon-Campus UI, click System > License Management.

2. Click the license file, and click the Hardware ID to be invalidated. Then, click Invalid License.

3. In the pop-up window, click Yes.

You can see the invalid code is displayed in a pop-up window. The status of the license is changed to Invalid, and show invalid code in the Operation column is shown as clickable instead of grayed out.
