Use the license generate command to obtain a new NetMRI license or modify an existing license on the physical appliance. To use this command on a NetMRI virtual appliance, contact Infoblox Technical Support at the following URL http://support.infoblox.com to generate a license file or to enable this command, so you can generate a license file on your own. You can modify the installed evaluation license file before rebooting the system.

You can choose to deploy the NetMRI appliance as a standalone appliance or the Operations Center. When you configure a standalone appliance, you can convert it to the Operations Center mode. Once you configure an appliance as the Operation Center, you cannot revert it to the standalone mode. You can choose to install the following license types: Full NetMRI, ACM (Automation Change Management), SPM2 (Switch Port Manager), or Keep existing. In addition, you can modify the device limit and license expiration date. The device limit indicates the number of devices the appliance is licensed to manage.
