License Details
Each license includes specific details pertinent to the person or organization purchasing it.
License ID
This license ID is directly linked to the Machine ID and other details specific to your purchase and ADC. This information is essential and is required when you wish to retrieve updates and other items from the App Store.
Machine ID
The Machine ID is generated using the eth0 IP address of a virtual ADC appliance and the MAC ID of a hardware-based ADC. If you change the IP address of a virtual ADC appliance, the license will no longer be valid. You will have contact support for assistance. We recommend that your virtual ADC appliance(s) have fixed IP addresses with instructions not to change them. Technical support is available by raising a ticket at HTTPs://edgenexus.io.
Note: You mustn't change the IP address or the MAC ID of your ADC appliances. If you are in a virtualized framework, then please fix the MAC ID and IP Address.
