Device Licensing

The purchased copy of WILI-S firmware has no license included. A license key must be installed after the purchase of the product. A simple license generator is available next to your order at the purchase history area on the WILIBOX website. The device without a license (invalid status) has only a very limited functionality:

  • It runs only with a default configuration. Only a single BSSID is allowed; DHCP client runs on WAN interface, DHCP servers run on LAN and Wireless interfaces.
  • It is impossible to change the configuration. All features are locked down until a valid license is presented. Any changes made in configuration will be stored in the flash memory of the device. Thus only a default setting will be used after the reboot.

You may need to renew the license:

  • Major software upgrades (3.x to 5.x)
  • Product upgrade (WILI-S to WILI-MESH)

In such cases, please upload new a license key before uploading a new FW.

A valid license file should be uploaded on the WILI-S based device to activate a full set of the device features. Use the following procedure to upload the license file on the WILI-S based device using web interface:


Step 1 Connect to the WILI device WEB management interface (refer to the respective document Connect to the WILI-S Based Device for the connecting instructions) and choose System | License menu:

The Status page shows that device license is valid and device is ready for configuration.
