Static: Static licenses are member specific. They are installed and tied to the Grid Master or specific Grid members. Static licenses are mapped to the hardware ID for each individual NIOS or vNIOS appliance.
Dynamic: Dynamic (pool) licenses are not offered from NIOS 9.0.1 onwards. Only the active subscriptions that you obtained for NIOS physical and virtual appliances from NIOS versions prior to 9.0.1 are supported.
These supported only on Trinzic X5 appliances. They are not supported on Trinzic X6 appliances. If you upgrade to a NIOS X6 appliance and have an active pool license, Infoblox Support will assist you in switching it to a supported license type.
Dynamic licenses are floating licenses that are dynamically allocated to specific Grid members in the Grid. Dynamic licenses belong to a license pool, which is associated with the entire Grid. When not in use, they can be released back to the pool of licenses.Grid-wide: Grid-wide licenses are associated with the entire Grid. They are not tied to any particular member. When installed, Grid-wide licenses are replicated to all members in the Grid. Although a Grid-wide license entitles all Grid members to run a particular feature, other conditions and factors determine whether the feature can be enabled on a particular member. For example, a member might not be able to run the Reporting and Analytics feature because it does not have the reporting appliance model. Grid-wide licenses that are supported are Security Ecosystem, Reporting Subscription, RPZ, Threat AnalyticsInsight, Flex Grid Activation, and FireEye. To configure Grid-wide licenses for RPZ, see Grid-wide licenses for RPZ.
