Removing a licensed feature
18
For the Brocade enterprise-class platforms, licenses are effective on both CP blades, but are valid
only when the CP blade is inserted into an enterprise-class platform that has an appropriate license
ID stored in the WWN card. If a CP is moved from one enterprise-class platform to another, the
license works in the new enterprise-class platform only if the WWN card is the same in the new
enterprise-class platform. Otherwise, you must transfer licenses from the old platform to the new
platform by obtaining new licenses for the previously licensed features using the new license ID.
For example, if you swap one CP blade at a time, or replace a single CP blade, then the existing CP
blade (the active CP blade) propagates the licenses to the new CP blade if the WWN card has been
moved to the new platform.
If you move a standby CP from one enterprise-class platform to another, then the active CP will
propagate its configuration (including license keys) onto that standby CP.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Activate the license using the licenseAdd command.
3. Verify the license was added by entering the licenseShow command. The licensed features
currently installed on the switch are listed. If the feature is not listed, enter the licenseAdd
command again.
Some features may require additional configuration, or you may need to disable and re-enable
the switch to make them operational; see the feature documentation for details.
