License expiration

Starting with 30 days before the license expiration date, a system message appears indicating the license will expire soon. You can still access and use the DRP application after the expiration date, but any configuration changes are disabled until a valid license is imported and activated.

Note:

Only one license can be active at a time.

Configuration migration

To ensure a safe copy of a configuration you can restore after any updates or system changes:

  1. Go to DRP > Configuration migration.
  2. Select Export configuration.
  3. JSON file is automatically downloaded to your local machine.

To restore a previously exported configuration:

  1. Go to DRP > Configuration migration.
  2. Check the box confirming consent.
  3. Select Upload and locate the JSON file on your local machine.

Automated pool cleanup

Every 24 hours, the system should run a check for any MAC addresses that have passed the Expiry date. Devices that fit that description are moved accordingly:

  • MAC addresses from the Registered Users MAC Pool to the Unregistered MAC Pool
  • MAC addresses from the Guest Users MAC Pool to the Unregistered MAC Pool

If enabled in the DRP configuration, system also cleans up the Unregistered MAC Pool and removes all devices whose expiration date is older than the configured retention period.
