How do I activate SmartServer IP-852, or FPM licenses? (KB962)

The SmartServer "Setup System Info" factory Web page will tell you if the SmartServer has an IP-852 or FPM license.

The IP-852 license is used for IP-852 routing. The Freely Programmable Modules (FPMs) allows you to add custom C or C++ applications or drivers to the SmartServer.
