Networks representative.

7.2. Plug-in management procedures

7.2.1. Plug-in activation

The Plug-in management procedure has been standardized, and is the
same for all Cisco hardware devices.

To obtain a plug-in activation code for a Cisco device, do the
following steps:

1. Contact your Cisco Networks representative to purchase a

generic 16-digit

License code

for plug-in activation.

2. Quote the unique mesh unit identification number (

5.a.b.c

) of the

Cisco hardware device.

3. Using the Cisco Partner Portal, associate the

License code

with the quoted Cisco device to get an

Activation code

4. Enter the Activation code on the

MANAGE PLUG-INS

window for

the unit.

You can also deactivate a plug-in Activation code that is currently in use
so it can be used with a different Cisco unit. To deactivate an active
plug-in, refer to

The PLUGINS sub-tab
