Activate Feature
The DME is a licensed product from Vbrick. A license file, available from Vbrick Support,
will provide access to Vbrick DME functionality – both the DME in general, as well as
features. The
System Configuration > Activate Feature page provides the ability to apply,
maintain and update licenses on the DME.
• If you purchased a hardware DME from Vbrick, it will come with the license already
installed.
• If you purchased a software Virtual Machine version of the DME, you will need to
download the ova and install it and contact Vbrick Support for the License.
• If you purchase a feature in the future, you will need to get your Currently Installed
License (from the System Configuration > Activate Feature page) and contact Vbrick
Support to augment the license.
