License
At the time of purchase, an ADX device is configured with a base license pre-installed. You can
upgrade the device to increase system capacity by purchasing and applying a new software license.
When a license is ordered separately (not pre-installed), an entitlement certificate or e-mail, along
with a transaction key, are issued to the customer by Brocade as proof of purchase. The transaction
key and LID of the Brocade device are used to generate a license key from the Brocade software
licensing portal. The license key is contained within a license file, which can be downloaded to your
local computer and then uploaded to the ADX device.
The following are the license types supported on the device:
• Trial license—A license-controlled feature to run on the device on a temporary basis. A trial
license enables demonstration and evaluation of a licensed feature and can be valid for a
period of 45 days. A licensed feature operating under a trial license has the same
functionality as does a licensed feature operating under a normal license.
• Unlimited license—A license-controlled feature to run on the device indefinitely.
To view the licenses installed in the device, perform the following steps within the Maintain tab.
1. Click License on the menu bar.
The License page is displayed, as shown in Figure 125.
FIGURE 143 Using the license
