# Licencing

icom Router Management is a powerful platform for centralized management of industrial router fleets. To control availability, functionality, and contractual usage, icom Router Management is based on a floating license model, allowing flexible, demand-based use—whether operated in the Cloud or On-Premises.

This article provides a general overview of the icom Router Management licensing model and explains system behavior when licenses expire or are insufficient.

## License Model: Floating Licenses

icom Router Management uses a floating license model, where available licenses are dynamically assigned to currently connected devices:

- Each actively managed router requires a valid license.
- Licenses are not permanently bound to a device but are dynamically assigned upon connection.
- The number of available licenses limits how many devices can be managed at the same time.

## Behavior When Licenses Expire or Are Insufficient

When one or more licenses expire (at 23:59 on the specified day), the system reacts as follows:

- The number of manageable devices is automatically reduced.
- Excess devices, i.e., those that connected most recently beyond the license limit, will no longer receive updates.
- These devices remain visible in the system but are no longer available for maintenance or management tasks.

### Recommended Actions

- Renew your licenses in a timely manner to avoid update errors and service interruptions.
- Alternatively, reduce the number of actively managed devices to match the number of valid licenses.
