License Application Guide 1 Introduction to License

1 Introduction to License

1.1 Common Concepts

 License: A license is an agreement reached by and between a supplier and a customer on
the application scope and time limit of the product (here refer specially to the software
versions) that the customer has purchased from the supplier. By installing a license, the
customer can obtain promised services from the supplier. A license has two forms:
license certificate and license file.
 License file: A license file is an authorization file that controls the capacity, functions,
and time of a software version. This file is generated by a special encryption tool based
on contract information, and is distributed in an electronic form.
 License certificate: A license certificate specifies the software authorization range and
protects the rights of buyers. The authorization is protected by law. The buyers can use
the software in the specified range, but cannot beyond the range (including product
software version, feature, capacity, location, and time).
A Huawei license certificate is in electronic or printed format and made together with the
sales contract. The certificate contains information such as product name, authorization
ID (LAC), and validity period. The printed certificates are delivered with the products.
The electronic certificate in PDF format is sent to the customers' Email boxes by the
license management system.

The License Authorization Codes (LACs) were generated by the license management system of
Huawei-Symantec. An LAC uniquely identifies a license certificate. The concept of LAC is outdated.
The license management system of Huawei-Symantec still uses this concept. The current license
management system of Huawei changes the concept to Entitlement ID.
 Equipment serial number (ESN) : An ESN is a character string that identifies a piece of
equipment and ensures correct allocation of a license file to the specified equipment. It is
also called equipment fingerprint.
 License serial number (LSN): The LSN uniquely identifies a license file.
 Revoke code: A revoke code is a character string that is returned after you run the
license revoking command and that is used to log in to the license application website to
change an ESN. After you run the license revoking command on a network element (NE),
the license file on the NE is revoked. For details about how to obtain a revoke code, see
the related guide of the product.

2 Common License Operations

2.1 Obtaining an ESN

You can obtain an ESN using the independent tool ESNMaker or on the SMC2.0 web
interface. If the SMC2.0 is not installed or you want to upgrade the SMC 1.0, use ESNMaker
to obtain an ESN and apply for a license file in advance. If the SMC2.0 has been installed,
obtain an ESN on the SMC2.0 web interface. By default, the SMC2.0 has no license after
installation. It has only a few license control items for system commissioning.

When the SM C2.0 has no license, it has the following license control items: 10 manageable devices, 10
embedded GK registration endpoints, 10 users, and 10 software clients supported by the embedded GK.
For the remaining license control items, for example, the third-party interface, the number is 0 or the
item is disabled.

2.1.1 Using ESNMaker to Obtain an ESN

Step 1 Copy the [Link] file on the SMC2.0 installation disk to the server where the
SMC2.0 is to be installed, and open the file.
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-1 is displayed.

3.3 ESN Change

3.3.1 Application Scenario
When the ESN of a device changes because of hardware replacement or other reasons, the
original license cannot be used any more. In this case, the ESN in the original license must be
changed, and the new license must be loaded to the device.

The SMC2.0 (V100R001 or a later version) supports revoke codes. If a revoke code has been
obtained, a new license can be applied for through self service and no approval is required. If
a revoke code cannot be obtained (for example, because the ENS is found to be incorrect
before the license is loaded), the new license application must be approved.

If a license has not been loaded to a device, no revoke code can be obtained for this license.

3.3.2 Changing the License for Spare Part Replacement

This function is only available to Huawei employees. If you are Huawei's channel partner, contact

3.5 License Rectification

3.5.1 Application Scenario
If a license requires rectification because of an R&D issue, follow the ITR process and submit
an iCare trouble ticket. After the issue is identified, follow the R&D rectification process.

Issue 01 (2014-10-28) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 23

Copyright © Huawei Technologies
Co., Ltd
HUAW EI SM C2.0
License Application Guide 3 Permanent License Application

(Note: If the issue is caused by third-party software or OEM software, as supply chain
procurement is involved, follow the contract change process instead.) The following are the
scenarios where the R&D rectification process applies:
 A license is rendered unavailable because of a product design fault (such as a quotation
template error, configurator algorithm error, license control error, or license
compatibility issue).
 A product that was not controlled by any license needs to be upgraded to be controlled
by a license. Therefore, licenses must be released to the existing devices.
 The license of the delivered goods is rendered unavailable because the product sales
strategy changes or the product GA is delayed.
 The current devices in an R version must be upgraded because of product version
unification. As a result, the current license must be changed.
 Because of software or hardware changes, the product license or the license of the
system that manages the product cannot be used any longer.

3.5.2 Application Process

License rectification consists of two phases:
 Release of a license rectification notice
 Implementation of license rectification

3.5.3 Release of a License Rectification Notice (Led by R&D

Personnel)
If product delivery is affected due to a license issue, and this issue is identified as caused in
R&D, the R&D personnel shall release a license rectification notice. This notice s hall contain
the impact scope and troubleshooting of the issue. The following figure shows the details.

Temporary license application is applicable to POC tests, brand exhibitions, and presentations
during product market expansion and to R&D tests before a product is put into commercial
use. Temporary licenses are time-limited.

Temporary licenses are used on commercial networks. Customers must be notified of the
potential risks and paper records are required. The temporary license distribution principles
are as follows:
During initial activation of a temporary license, the license validity period must be specified.
Temporary licenses cannot be modified, and customer names cannot be changed.

5 Commissioning License Application

A commissioning license reduces frequent license adjustments on the customer network and
improves delivery efficiency during project delivery. When a major or emergent network issue
occurs, the commissioning license can be used.

A commissioning license is a temporary license. After the commissioning service is complete,

the validity period of the license expires. The GTS engineers must comply with the service
rule of commissioning licenses. They shall apply, use, and withdraw commissioning licenses
based on actual service needs. License use must be authorized.

5.1 Engineering Delivery Project Commissioning

5.1.1 Application Scenario
The commercial license file for network deployments cannot be obtained or is invalid. To
quickly meet onsite installation and commissioning requirements, the commissioning license
with a fixed validity period can be used (license can be downloaded three times for each ESN).
The scenarios include:
 The commercial licenses are available. However, the planned configuration in the
contract is different from the actual configuration in deployments. To improve efficiency,
commissioning licenses can be used.
 The commercial licenses are available. However, an enormous number of licenses may
be changed when the deployment and expansion (modernization) tasks are carried out
concurrently for an office. Before the equipment license status stabilizes, commissioning
licenses can be used.
 The commercial licenses are available. However, an enormous number of licenses may
be changed when a contract is split into multiple POs that are issued at different project
phases. Before all POs are issued, commissioning licenses can be used.

5.1.2 Precautions
 The Huawei PO number (license PO) and customer asset ESN need to be entered when
applying for the license. The PO number needs to be verified by ERP (CIR status is
published). PO (TX/8Z/7X/8A/9Z) cannot be used to apply for commissioning licenses.
 A 30-day license can be applied for each ESN based on product and R version (without
approval). The license can be applied for each R version for a maximum of three times.
License applications do not need to be approved in this situation.
