# Change the Edge Filer EV License

**Note**

The following procedure is not available for CTERA HC100 devices. The HC100 license is EV4 and cannot be changed.

A CTERA Edge Filer requires a license to operate, which it receives from CTERA Portal. You can change the license to another license that is available in your CTERA Portal account.

### To change the CTERA Edge Filer license:

1. In the **Configuration** view, select **Main > This Edge Filer** in the navigation pane.  

The **This Edge Filer** page opens, displaying the product information.
2. In the license area click **Change License**.  

The **Select License** window is displayed.
**Note**

When there is no choice, determined by the licenses available in the CTERA Portal account, the current license is displayed. Click **Done** to exit the procedure.
3. Select the new license and click **Save**.
