Viewing software license information from the Brocade licensing
portal
This section describes other software licensing tasks supported from the Brocade software licensing
portal. You can use the Unit License Query option to view software license information for a particular
unit, transaction key, or both. You can export the report to Excel for sharing or archiving purposes.
Depending on the status of the license (for example, whether or not the license was generated), the
report will include the following Information:
• Hardware part number, serial number, and description
• Software part number, serial number, and description
• Date the license was installed
• Transaction key
• LID
• Feature name
• Product line
To view the license information, select License Management > Brocade FOS > Unit License Query.
The FOS Unit License Query window appears as shown below.
FIGURE 3 License Query window
• To view software license information for a particular unit, enter the LID in the Unit ID field and click
Search.
• To view software license information for a particular transaction key, enter the unique number in the
Transaction key field and click Search.
In the FOS Unit License Query results window, the line items for Level 1 display hardware-related
information and the line items for Level 2 display software-related information. If the query was
performed before the transaction key was generated, the first row (Level 1) would not appear as part of
the search results. Similarly, if the query was performed before the license was generated, some of the
information in the second row would not be displayed.
