To bind a device license: Locate an unactivated device and click Activate. In the License Status section, choose an appropriate license to bind. You can bind a new license or a used license (such as the one last bound). If you have many used licenses, you can search by license key or MAC.

The 'Activate' dialog shows 'License Status' with options to 'Please bind Controller License' and 'Assign the appropriate licenses to the device'. It lists license types (e.g., 1-Year, 3-Year, 5-Year) and 'Used Licenses'. A 'Search License Key and MAC' field is available, along with sorting options.

To unbind a device license: Click an activated device to open the Properties window. In the License Status section, click Unbind. The license will be unbound and can be bound to another device if needed.

The 'License Status' section within a device's properties shows 'License Type', 'Reassignment Times Remaining', 'Expiration Time', and 'License Key'. An 'Unbind' button is present.

? When the reassignment times remaining is 0, the license will be unable to be bound to other devices except the current device.
