Task 6: Obtain a Cisco EMF License
To start Cisco EMF, you must have a valid license key file available. In a distributed configuration, the
license key is required on the management server.
To obtain a required valid license key file, do the following:
Step 1
Go to the Cisco Product License Registration site at
https://tools.cisco.com/SWIFT/Licensing/PrivateRegistrationServlet
Step 2
Fill in the Product Authorization Key (PAK). The PAK is provided on the Cisco EMF product CD sleeve.
Step 3
Click Submit.
Step 4
Verify that the product information shown on the screen is correct, and if it is correct, click Continue.
Step 5
Select the version of the Cisco EMF product you are licensing in the Version number field.
Step 6
Enter the hostname of the server where the Cisco EMF product is installed. You can obtain the server’s
hostname by entering the hostname command at the server’s command line prompt.
Note
The server hostname must not include a period (.).
Step 7
Enter the host ID of the server where the Cisco EMF product is installed. (The host ID is a hexadecimal
string that identifies the system; it is not the IP address.) You can obtain the server’s host ID by entering
the hostid command at the server’s command line prompt.
Step 8
Read the End-User License Agreement and click I Accept. You must accept to get a license.
Step 9
Verify the registrant information shown on the screen.
Step 10
Click Continue.
Step 11

The license request is submitted. The Cisco EMF permanent license key file is returned to you as an
