Description
Use this command to add license keys to the system.
Some features of the switch and of the fabric to which it is connected are optional
licensed products. Without a license installed for such products, the services are
not available.
A license key is a string of approximately 16 upper and lower case letters and
numbers. Case is significant.
The license must be entered into the system exactly as issued. If mistyped, the
license may be accepted, but licensed products will not function. After entering
the license, use the
licenseShow
command to check for correct function. If
no licensed products are shown, then the license is invalid.
After entering a license, the licensed product is available immediately and the
system does not need to be rebooted. The exception is a QuickLoop only system;
these must be rebooted after adding a fabric license to allow fabric logins. For a
trunking license to become effective, the trunk ports need to be refreshed using the
commands
portdisable
and
portenable
or the switch must be
refreshed using the commands
switchdisable
and
switchenable
.
