# Changing the CTERA Edge Filer 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 edge filer details.
