10. Activate and verify the license as follows:
a. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
b. Activate the license using the licenseAdd command.
The license key is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as given. The quotation marks
are optional.
For SilkWorm 12000, 24000, and 48000 models, licenses are effective on both CP blades and
on all logical switches, but are valid only when the CP blade is inserted into a chassis that has
an appropriate license ID stored in the WWN card. If a CP is moved from one chassis to
another, the license works in the new chassis only if the WWN card is the same in the new
chassis. Otherwise, a new license key is generated.
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 you move a standby CP from one chassis to another, then the active CP will propagate its
configuration (including license keys).
c. Verify that 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.
d. Some features may require additional configuration, or you might need to disable and reenable
the switch to make them operational; refer to the feature documentation for details.
