Manage Licenses

NetQ for NVLink includes an evaluation license that is automatically applied during the initial installation. The license is valid for 60 days. After it expires, you need to apply a new subscription license to continue accessing the API.

Download the License and the License Update Script

You will need to download two files: the license file and the license update script.

1. Log in to the NVIDIA Application Hub. From there, navigate to the NVIDIA Licensing Portal.
2. Download the license.
3. Next, download the license-update.sh script. Select Software Downloads from the side menu.
4. In the search field above the table, enter NetQ.
5. Locate and download the latest NetQ License Update file.
6. Copy the license-update.sh script to the /opt/netq-admin/nvl/scripts directory.

Apply a New License

1. Create the /opt/netq-admin/nvl/licenses directory.
2. Upload the new license file to /opt/netq-admin/nvl/licenses.
3. Run the following script:

/opt/netq-admin/nvl/scripts/license-update.sh

4. When prompted, select the first option: Apply new license (replace existing)
5. Select the license file and confirm that the new license details are correct.

The script concurrently applies the new license and replaces the previous one.

Receive License Alerts

If you have configured a webhook receiver you will receive a notification when your license is about to expire or has already expired. These notifications are sent every 24 hours until the license status is updated.
