Maintaining Licensed Features
Feature licenses might be part the licensed Paper Pack supplied with switch software, or you can
purchase licenses separately from your switch vendor, who will provide you with keys to unlock the
features. License keys are provided on a per-chassis basis, so for products that support multiple logical
switches (domains), a license key applies to all domains within the chassis.
To unlock a licensed feature, you can either use the license key provided in the Paper Pack supplied
with switch software, or follow this procedure to generate a license key at the Brocade Web site (http://
www.brocade.com).
To unlock a licensed feature
1. If you already have a license key, go to step 10.
If you do not have a key, launch an Internet browser and go to the Brocade Web site at http://
www.brocade.com.
2. Click products.
3. Click Software Products.

Software License Keys instruction page appears.

If you want to generate multiple license keys, select Batch Generation of Licenses.
The Software License Key instruction page appears.

When generating multiple license keys, enter the worldwide names and transaction keys in the table
at the bottom of the screen. If you need additional rows in the table, select Add More Rows.
