You can add further additional tunnel/server instances at any time under the item “Activate License”. Just enter the license code and click "Submit".
Changing Server Throughput profiles (Instances)
With Bondix, an instance is a Bondix server installation. This server installation shows all active tunnels with the number of instances they can be installed on and the date they expire. An instance can be adjusted to serve only ONE(!) type of throughput / tunnel bandwidth. So, if you have 3 different types of license, e.g. 20 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps, you need 3 different instances - which is no problem as any Bondix license allows you to license at least two different instances for one active tunnel. However, it is vital that you register all Bondix server instances you want to manage to ONE email address, otherwise you won't be able to change instances.
If you want to change an instance and thus the licenses bound to it to a new type of tunnel bandwidth, make sure that you are logged in with the correct email address, scroll down to "Change Instance", enter the name of the instance, and choose the desired tunnel bandwidth. You will only see option that are within the maximum throughput for the licenses you purchased. Then, click "Submit".
