Licensing rules
This section lists the software licensing rules and caveats related to the Brocade devices that
support software-based licensing.
General notes about licensing
The following licensing rules apply to all FastIron devices that support software licensing:
• A license is tied to the unique LID of the management module or fixed configuration switch for
which the license was ordered. Therefore, a license can be used on one device only. It cannot
be used on any other device.
• More than one license can be installed per device. For example, an FSX 800 with IPv6
hardware can have the license SX-FIL3U-6-IPV4 and the license SX-FIL3U-6-IPV6, and both can
be in effect.
• Only one normal or trial license at a time can be in effect for a licensed feature.
• More than one trial license can be in effect at the same time, as long as each trial license
applies to a unique licensed feature.
• A trial license cannot replace or supersede a normal license.
