Chapter 3 Obtaining and Installing Licenses
Obtaining the License Key File
Obtaining the License Key File
Note
Refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide
for details on installing
automated licenses using the Fabric Manager GUI.
To obtain new or updated license key files using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the
show license host-id
command to obtain the serial number for your switch. The host ID is also
referred to as the switch serial number.
switch#
show license host-id
License hostid: FOX064317SQ
Tip
Use the entire ID that appears after the colon (:) sign. In this example, the host ID is
FOX064317SQ.
Step 2
Obtain either your claim certificate or your proof of purchase document. This document accompanies
every Cisco MDS switch.
Step 3
Obtain the Product Authorization Key (PAK) from either the claim certificate or the proof of purchase
document.
Step 4
Locate the website URL from either the claim certificate or the proof of purchase document.
Step 5
Access the specified URL that applies to your switch and enter the switch serial number and the PAK.
The license key file is sent to you by e-mail. The license key file is digitally signed to only authorize use
on the requested switch. The requested features are also enabled once the Cisco SAN-OS software on
the specified switch accesses the license key file.
Caution
Install the license key file in the specified MDS switch without making any modifications.
A license is either permanent or it expires on a fixed date. If you do not have a license, the grace period
for using that feature starts from the first time you start using a feature offered by that license (see the
“Grace Period Alerts” section on page 3-15
).
Step 6
Use the
copy licenses CLI
command in EXEC mode to save your license file to one of two
locations—the bootflash: directory or the slot0: device (see the
“Backing Up License Files” section on
page 3-12
).
Installing the License Key File
Tip
If you need to install multiple licenses in any switch in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, be sure to provide
unique file names for each license key file.
Step 7
Select the switches for which you have PAKs or license key files.
