Install OS10 license

If OS10 is factory-loaded on your switch, you do not need to install an OS10 license as it is pre-loaded with a perpetual license. If

you download OS10 on a trial basis, OS10 comes with a 120-day trial license. Purchase and install a perpetual license after the

trial period expires.To continue with uninterrupted use, purchase and install a perpetual license to avoid the OS10 device

rebooting every 72 hours after 120 days.

After you install OS10 and log in, install the perpetual license to run OS10 Enterprise Edition beyond the trial period. The OS10

license is installed in the /mnt/license directory.

1. Download the License.zip file from DDL as described in Download OS10 image.

2. Open the zip file and locate the license file in the Dell folder. Copy the license file to a local or remote workstation.

3. Install the license file from the workstation in EXEC mode.
