Hi,

 

When you reactivate license you have to keep in mind that the license reactivation process may reload the configuration and temporarily interrupt traffic processing. So if you want to not disturb your production follow this procedure:

 

You have to begin on standby member.

 

  • Connect to standby member (Applicance-B) then reactivate license.
  • once license is reactivated on standby member, check that your device is UP, ASM is started and APM session is duplicate (check on overview)
  • then force active member (Applicance-a) to standby.
  • reactive license on Applicance-A (standby)
  • once license is reactivated on standby member, check that your device is UP, ASM is started and APM session is duplicate (check on overview)
  • then if you want you can force standby Applicance B.

regards
