To manage NVIDIA vGPU licensing

Note: If the Licensing section and Manage Licence task do not appear in the NVIDIA Control Panel, the vGPU you are running on does not require a licence, or the system has been configured to hide licensing controls in NVIDIA Control Panel.

From the NVIDIA Control Panel navigation tree pane, under Licensing, select Manage Licences to open the associated page.

The Licence Edition section shows if your system has a valid NVIDIA vGPU software licence.

NVIDIA Control Panel detects that a vGPU is assigned to the VM and, therefore, provides no options for selecting the licence type. After you license the vGPU, NVIDIA vGPU software automatically selects the correct type of licence based on the vGPU type.
If no licence is listed, upload the client configuration token following the steps mentioned in the virtual GPU client licensing user guide.

The system will request the appropriate licence for the current vGPU from the configured licence server. If successful, the Licence Edition section will indicate that your system is licensed and, beginning with the Release 495 driver, will show the licence expiry date in the GMT time zone.

The licence server details from which a vGPU license is acquired will be visible in the boxes under the Licence Server Details section.

If the system fails to obtain a licence, review the Troubleshooting - Reference.
