An optical network having a first terminal node, a second terminal node, and a network service system is described. The first terminal node has a plurality of ports and a signal restoration component to create a restored path. The second terminal node has a plurality of ports and a failure monitor to issue a path failure notice. A working path, a protection path, and the restored path are each fiber optic lines optically coupling the first terminal node to the second terminal node to enable a service, each path requiring a quantity of exclusive licenses. The network service system receives a path failure notice indicating a working path failure, calculates the quantity of licenses required by the restored path, releases the quantity of licenses required by the working path and applies at least a portion of the quantity of licenses to the quantity of licenses required by the restored path.

A device may receive optical network information associated with a plurality of super-channels. Each super-channel, of the plurality of super-channels, may include a plurality of optical channels transported as a single optical channel. The device may assign the plurality of super-channels to a plurality of sets of super-channels. The device may receive a request for a subset of the optical network information associated with a set of super-channels of the plurality of sets of super-channels. The device may provide, based on the request, information that identifies the subset of the optical network information associated with the set of super-channels via a user interface.
