-## NG40 vTester M-CORD License
-
-As mentioned above, ng4T provides a limited version of its NG40 software, which
-requires a free license in order to work. The specific NG40 installation steps
-described in the next paragraph assume the Operator has obtained the license
-and saved it into  a specific location on the development server.

-In order to download a free M-CORD trial license, go to the [NG40 M-CORD
-website](https://mcord.ng40.com/) and register. You will be asked for your
-company name and your company email. After successful authentication of your
-email and acknowledgment of the free M-CORD NG40 License, you can download the
-license file called `ng40-license`.
+> Note that 4.1 recommends at least `Westmere` microarchitecture but 5.0

-## Using the NG40 vTester Software
-
-You’re now ready to generate some traffic and test M-CORD. To proceed, do the
-following.
-
-* SSH into the NG40 VNF VM with username and password ng40/ng40. To understand
-  how to access your VNFs look
-  [here](troubleshooting.md#how-to-log-into-a-vnf-vm).
-* Run `~/verify_quick.sh`
-
-You should see the following output:
-
-```shell

-
-Both the downlink and uplink should show packets counters increasing. The
-downlink shows packets flowing from the AS (Application Server) to the UE. The
-uplink shows packets going from the UE to the AS.
-
-The result for all commands should look like:
-
-```shell
-Verdict(tc_attach_www) = VERDICT_PASS
-**** Packet Loss ****
-DL Loss= AS_PktTx-S1uPktRx=     0(pkts); 0.00(%)
-UL Loss= S1uPktTx-AS_PktRx=     0(pkts); 0.00(%)
-```
-
-The verdict is configured to check the control plane only.
-
-For the user plane verification you see the absolute number and percentage of
-lost packets.
