Checking the status of your Switch licenses

Check the status of your licenses, if you want to know which Switch modules are activated, when your licenses expire or when your maintenance contract ends. The end of your maintenance contract is important, because it determines whether or not you can upgrade to a new version of Switch.

To check the status of your Switch licenses

  1. Open Switch.
  2. On the Help menu, click Manage licenses.
  3. In the left part of the Manage licenses dialog, select the module of which you want to see the status. The details of the selected module are shown in the Details pane on the right. For more information, refer to About the Switch licenses.
The table below explains the icons that represent the License Status.
