1 Managing Radio-Port Licenses ProCurve licenses provide access to expanded features on certain ProCurve network devices. There are two ways you can manage these licenses: O Manual method — You use the My ProCurve portal, along with your device’s Web browser interface or command line interface (CLI), to manage licenses. This is a good method to use if you are managing a small number of licenses and do not already use the ProCurve Manager network management software.
The manual method is described in Chapter 2 of this guide. The ProCurve Manager method is described in Chapter 3. Prerequisites Which ever method you use to manage your licenses, you will need to be registered on the My ProCurve Web portal. Registration is free, and it allows you to perform all of the licensing functions. If you are not already registered, point your Web browser to http://my.procurve.com and follow the registration instructions.
General Procedure The general procedure for managing radio-port licenses involves several different numbers: O registration ID — This number came with the license you purchased, and represents your right to install a particular type of license on a particular type of network device. O hardware ID — This number identifies the ProCurve Wireless EDGE Services zl Module that you are licensing, and includes the module's serial number and an identifier for the premium feature that you are licensing.
