If the status of the license file on the live network is not Normal, check the license file. Trial A license file enters the Trial state if the ESN does not match the device. A license file in Trial state can be used only for 60 days. To continue to use a license file after the Trial state, apply for a new license file using the correct ESN. A temporary license file expires and enters the Trial state. To continue to use a license file after the Trial state, apply for a new license file and activate it. A license file is revoked and enters the Trial state. To continue to use a license file after the Trial state, apply for a new license file based on the revocation code and activate it. If you replace the master switch but the new ESN does not match the license file, the license file enters the Trial state. To continue to use a license file after the Trial state, apply for a new license file matching the new ESN and activate it. Demo When you activate a temporary license file, it enters the Demo state. The Demo state exists only for a demo license file used for test and deployment. A license file in Demo state allows you to use normal functions within a specified period. Before the expiration of the license file in Demo state, replace it with a commercial license file. Emergency In the emergency conditions like earthquake, volcano explosion, and tsunami, you can run the license emergency command to trigger a license file to enter the Emergency state. The Emergency state stays for seven days, and a license file can enter the Emergency state three times. Default: No license file is activated or a license file expires.
