## Installing Licenses

You have to install proper licenses before you start using AMF Security.
There are two types of licenses: "Base" and "Addon".

- You always need the Base license to run AMF Security.
  OpenFlow and AMF Application Proxy do not work until the base license is installed.
- The Addon license is for adding an OpenFlow switch. AMF Application Proxy works with a Base license only, no Addon license for nodes is required.
  Although you can install Addon licenses before installing the Base license, AMF Security does not work until the Base license is installed.

> Note

> > Purchase a license to use OpenFlow.

> Note

> > After registering the basic license, if you delete or add the basic license during operation of the OpenFlow and AMF Application Proxy network, OpenFlow and AMF Application Proxy may not operate normally.
> > Therefore, disconnect AMF security from the operating network before removing or adding a registered base license.
> > If the base license is removed or added during operation and AMF Application Proxy does not work properly, restart AMF security.

To install the license, follow the steps:

1. Click the "License page" in the message displayed at the top of the setting screen.

2. The System Settings > License page is displayed. Click the "Add" button.

3. The License dialog is displayed. Enter the "Serial Number" and "Authentication Key" shown on the license certificate and click the "Submit" button.
