Managing licenses for NS9500, NS7500, and NS3500 Sensors

The NS9500, NS7500, and NS3500 Sensors require a software 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 (for example, CapacityLicense3Gig.jar for a new license and CapacityLicense3to5.jar for an upgrade license). The Manager supports both the formats. The license procured contains the details of the Sensor's throughput. The Manager checks the compliance periodically to check the number of licenses against the Sensor's throughput.

Note
You must first purchase a license to enable traffic inspection in NS9500, NS7500, and NS3500 Sensors. To obtain a license, contact Trellix Sales.

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. Various throughputs available are as follows:
