The License Settings page shows your current license parameters with an option to upload a new license, using a special license file provided by ScaleArc support.

If you use the Upload License button to downgrade your license (for example, reduce the number of cores), it disables and removes the features in the associated configuration, thus requiring you to restart ScaleArc.
To change your license, set up more clusters, or add more servers to the appliance, contact ScaleArc Support for a license upgrade before using the Upload License button.
