Upgrading the Switch License
You can upgrade Cisco IOS software features through the Cisco Software Activation tool. It authorizes
and enables the feature set on Cisco IE 2000 switch series. Based on the type of license, it allows you to
enable certain features through the licensing upgrade or both licensing and software upgrade. On Cisco
IE 2000 switches, to upgrade from LAN Lite to LAN Base you do not require new software releases.
However, to upgrade from LAN Base to Enhanced LAN Base for NAT, you require both software and
license upgrades. See
Software Activation Licensing Upgrade
for detailed steps:
