Hi!

I have CP 6700 GW version R81.10. And I have next question.

I'am using now license CPEP-ACCESS-P per each user, for mobile users remote access VPN.
But this type of license attached to MAC of users device. If I need change device MAC of mobile user, how I can do it? May be exist some script or utility?

Yes.

When I bought licenses, I was warned that they are bound to the MAC address for a while and blocked from reuse.

Can the administrator change the bound MAC address manually?

In that case, you may want to confirm 100% with someone from Account services team.

If the machine is not seen in 30 days, the license will be returned to the pool.}
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a way to reallocate one of these licenses, but it might be possible to reset the database.
