Description

Use this command to add license keys to the system.

Some features of the switch and the fabric to which it is connected are optional, licensed products.

Without a license installed for such products, their services are not available.

A license key is a string of approximately 16 upper- and lowercase letters and numbers. Case is

significant.

The license must be entered into the system exactly as issued. If entered incorrectly, the license might be

accepted but the licensed products will not function. After entering the license, use the licenseShow

command to check for correct function. If no licensed products are shown, then the license is invalid.

After entering a license, the licensed product is available immediately and the system does not need to be

rebooted. There is an exception. For a trunking license to become effective, the trunk ports need to be

refreshed using the commands portDisable and portEnable or the switch must be refreshed using

the commands switchDisable and switchEnable.
