Licensing authorizes you to use Versa products and applications legally. Each Versa license is associated with a single Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) CPE instance, and the license entitles the VOS instance to use the features provided in a solution tier and a bandwidth tier. Each license is provided by subscription that is valid for a specific lifetime.

This article describes how to display subscription and other license-related information about VOS CPE devices.
