Generating and installing a feature license
When you purchase an optional feature license, a physical license registration card is shipped to
you. License registration cards are not matched to the controller until you go to the My Networking
portal and generate a license file for a specific device.
Once you receive your license registration card, follow this procedure to generate and install a
feature license on your controller.
NOTE: When teaming is active, separate license files must be generated and individually installed
on each controller that is a member of a team.
Generating a license
