To provide basic information on SBR licensing

The licenses on Steel-Belted Radius are specific to the edition and version that is running. 

The keys start with 16xx. Below is a list of the different values mean:

The 3rd group of numbers differ according to the version.  SBR version 5.4 has 0900, 6.0 has 1000 and 6.1 has 1100. Here are a few examples:

5.4 key - 16XX XXXX 0900 XXXX XXXX

You can view the license by opening up the file called radius.lic in the \radius\service directory. You can also edit this file to add or remove licenses. Make sure to restart the Steel-Belted Radius server after editing the file for the change to take affect.

You can also add license keys via the admin UI under the File > License Key menu.
