Checking in the Fabric Manager Server License From Device Manager
If you evaluated Fabric Manager Server without a license, you can stop the grace period countdown and
disable all features using the Fabric Manager Server license package using Device Manager.
To stop the Fabric Manager Server evaluation using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1
Choose
Admin > License
s and select the
Features
tab.
Step 2
Select the features to check in. When you select a feature, you see the Check In FM button at the bottom
of the dialog box.
Step 3
Click
Check In FM
.
Note
This button appears only when FM_SERVER_PKG is unlicensed.
Note
Because of Caveat CSCeg23889, you might still receive Call Home or system messages for an unused
FM_SERVER_PKG license. This caveat describes how extraneous messages are sent after a Fabric
Manager Server license is checked in.
