You can obtain advanced product functionality by employing a software
Feature Key

ware feature keys are specific to a Gateway's serial number. Once the feature key is

Use Netopia Software Feature Keys
Netopia Gateway users obtain advanced product functionality by installing a
software fea-
ture key
. This concept utilizes a specially constructed and distributed keycode (referred to
as a feature key) to enable additional capability within the unit.
Software feature key properties are specific to a unit’s serial number; they will not be
accepted on a platform with another serial number.
Once installed, and the Gateway restarted, the new feature’s functionality becomes avail-
able. This allows full access to configuration, operation, maintenance and administration of
the new enhancement.
