Licensed feature management
The licensed features currently installed on the switch are listed in the License tab of the Switch
Administration window. If the feature is listed, such as the EGM license, it is installed and
immediately available. When you enable some licenses, such as ISL Trunking, you might need to
change the state of the port to enable the feature on the link. For time-based licenses, the expiry
date is included. Right-click a license key to export data, copy data, or search the table.
Activating a license on a switch
Before you can unlock a licensed feature, you must obtain a license key. You can either use the
license key provided in the paperpack document supplied with switch software or refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for instructions on how to obtain a license key at the Brocade
website (my.brocade.com).
To activate a license, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 33.
2. Select the License tab and click Add.
The Add License dialog box displays.
3. Paste or enter a license key in the field.
4. Click Add License.
5. Click Refresh to display the new licenses in the License tab.
Some licenses, such as the Trunking or Brocade 7800 upgrade license, do not take effect until
the switch is restarted.

features running.
NOTE
You can enable slot based licenses only on 10 Gigabit Ethernet (FTR_10G), Advanced Extension
(FTR_AE), and Advanced FICON Acceleration (FTR_AFA) features.
