Administer license keys
11
A Web Tools license must be installed on a switch before Fabric Manager can recognize the switch.
All other licenses can be installed using Fabric Manager.
License key export
You can export the license keys of multiple switches to a single file. You can even export keys from
different switches in different fabrics to one file. The file matches the license keys to the WWN of
the appropriate switch so you can quickly and easily import the keys at any time.
You should export license keys from healthy switches to a file so you can restore the licenses if
switches fail. If for any reason you need to recover your license keys, import those keys from the file
you created.
Exporting license keys to a file
1. Select Tasks > Switch Management > Load License from Switch.
The License Admin -- Switch Selection window displays (see Figure 105).
FIGURE 105 License administration (switch selection)
2. Select the switches and fabrics from the SAN Elements tab that have license keys that you
want to export to a file.
3. Click the right-arrow to move the selected elements to the right panel, then click OK.
The License Administration window displays with the Switch tab selected. Fabric Manager
prompts you to log in to the switches if you are not already.
NOTE
You can print license information about switches from the License Administration dialog box by
clicking Print.
