Managing Licenses

Licenses are required by the Manager to access certain Sensor functionalities. You can use the Licenses page to manage the following licenses:

System
Proxy Decryption
Virtual Sensors

System

The NS9500, NS7500, and NS3500 Sensors require a license to activate the baseline throughput of 10 Gbps on NS9500 Sensors, 3 Gbps on NS7500, and 750 Mbps on NS3500 Sensors. The license is provided as a .zip or .jar file. The Manager supports both formats. The license procured contains the details of the throughput for the Sensors.

In case of the NS9500 standalone and stack and NS7500 Sensors, an additional license or upgrade license is required to increase the throughput of the Sensor. The various throughputs available are as follows:


Sensor	Existing license	Additional license	Upgrade license
NS9500 standalone Note You must have a stack Sensors setup to upgrade licenses from Standalone to Stack.	10 Gbps	20 Gbps 30 Gbps	10 to 20 Gbps 10 to 30 Gbps Standalone to stack: 10 to 40 Gbps 10 to 60 Gbps 10 to 100 Gbps
	20 Gbps	30 Gbps	20 to 30 Gbps Standalone to stack: 20 to 40 Gbps 20 to 60 Gbps 20 to 100 Gbps
	30 Gbps	NA	Standalone to stack: 30 to 40 Gbps 30 to 60 Gbps 30 to 100 Gbps
NS9500 stack	40 Gbps	60 Gbps 100 Gbps	40 to 60 Gbps 40 to 100 Gbps
NS9500 stack	60 Gbps	100 Gbps	60 to 100 Gbps
NS7500	3 Gbps	5 Gbps 7.5 Gbps	3 to 5 Gbps 3 to 7.5 Gbps
NS7500	5 Gbps	7.5 Gbps	5 to 7.5 Gbps

Proxy Decryption

The proxy SSL decryption feature requires license to access a few Sensor functionalities. The proxy license is provided as a .zip or .jar file. The Manager supports both formats. The license procured contains the number of Sensors on which the proxy SSL feature can be enabled.

A valid outbound and inbound proxy based SSL decryption license can be obtained for the following Sensor models:


Sensor Model	Outbound proxy based SSL decryption	Inbound proxy based SSL decryption
NS9500 (Standalone) with 30 Gbps	Yes	Yes
NS9500 (Standalone) with 20 Gbps	Yes	Yes
NS9500 (Standalone) with 10 Gbps	Yes	Yes
NS9200	Yes	NA
NS9100	Yes	NA
NS7500 with 7.5 Gbps	Yes	Yes
NS7500 with 5 Gbps	Yes	Yes
NS7500 with 3 Gbps	Yes	Yes
NS7300	Yes	NA
NS7200	Yes	NA

For more information, see Managing licenses for proxy based SSL decryption.

Virtual Sensors

Licenses are required to add vIPS Clusters. These licenses can either be individual .jar files, or they can be bundled together and provided to you in the form of a .zip file. Each license supports a pre-defined number of Virtual IPS Sensors, and this number is specific to the license file you have procured.
