Section III: Building a Stack with VCStack Plus 291
Activating the VCStack Plus Feature License
This procedure explains how to use the VCStack Plus feature license you
obtained from Allied Telesis to activate the VCStack Plus feature license
on the active controller card in the chassis. The license consists of an
alphanumeric key and a recommendation for the license name.
Please note the following before performing this procedure:
 The two chassis in the stack must have their own licenses.
 A chassis that has two controller cards needs only one VCStack
Plus feature license because the active master card automatically
shares it with the inactive master card.
 The encryption keys on the VCStack Plus feature licenses you
receive from Allied Telesis may be the same or different. The two
switches can form a stack regardless of whether the encryption
keys are the same or different.
The procedure assumes you are continuing directly from the previous
procedure.
To activate the VCStack Plus feature license on the active controller card
in the chassis, perform the following procedure:
1. In the Privileged Exec mode, use the LICENSE command to activate
the VCStack Plus feature on the active controller card.
.Here is the format of the command:
license
name key
The NAME parameter is the name of the license. You may use the
name that comes with the license or you may enter a different name.
The name can be from one to fifteen characters. Spaces are not
allowed. An example of a name for this feature is VCStackPlus.
The KEY parameter is the alphanumeric key that comes with the
license. It activates the feature license on the switch. The key is case
sensitive, meaning that you have to use uppercase and lowercase
characters when you specify the key in the command.
Here is an example of the command. The license is assigned the name
VCStackPlus and has the key 1234ABCD:
awplus# license VCStackPlus 1234ABCD
