Extending a universal temporary license
Extending a universal temporary license is done by adding a temporary license with an expiry date
after the universal temporary license expiry date, or by adding a permanent license. Re-applying an
existing universal temporary license is not allowed.
Universal temporary license shelf life
All universal temporary licenses are encoded with a “shelf life” expiration date. Once this date is
reached, the temporary licensed feature can no longer be used on the switch.
Viewing installed licenses
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the licenseShow command.
Activating a license
The transaction key is case-sensitive; it must be entered exactly as it appears in the paperpack. To
lessen the chance of error, copy and paste the transaction key. The quotation marks are optional.
1. Take the appropriate following action based on whether you have a license key:
•
If you have a license key, go to “Adding a licensed feature” .
•
If you do not have a license key and are using a transaction key, launch an Internet
browser and go to the Brocade website at
http://www.brocade.com .
2. Select Products > Software License Keys.
The Software License Keys instruction page appears.
3. Enter the requested information in the required fields and click Next.
A verification screen appears.
4. Verify the information appears correctly.
Click Submit if the information displayed is correct. If the information is incorrect, click
Previous, correct the information, and click Submit.
An information screen displays the license keys and you will receive an e-mail with the software
license keys and installation instructions.
Adding a licensed feature
To enable a feature, go to the feature’s appropriate section in this manual. Enabling a feature on a
switch may be a separate task from adding the license.
