internet access; or for offline management, you can configure Permanent License Reservation or a Satellite
server. For more information about these offline licensing methods, see
this guide applies to regular Smart Software Licensing.
When you register the chassis, the License Authority issues an ID certificate for communication between the
chassis and the License Authority. It also assigns the chassis to the appropriate virtual account. Until you
register with the License Authority, you will not be able to make configuration changes to features requiring
special licenses, but operation is otherwise unaffected. Licensed features include:
• Standard
• Security Contexts
