Interfaces for activating Fabric Watch

If the Fabric Watch license is not listed, continue to step 4; otherwise, you are ready to use

Fabric Watch.

4. Enter the license key with the licenseAdd key command, where key is the Fabric Watch license

key. License keys are case-sensitive, so type the license key exactly as it appears.

switch:admin> licenseadd "R9cQ9RcbddUAdRAX"

5. Enter the licenseShow command to verify successful activation. If the license is not listed,

verify that you typed the key correctly; if you did not, then repeat step 4.

If you still do not see the license, verify that the entered key is valid, and that the license key is

correct before repeating step 4.

6. Enter the fwClassinit command to initialize the Fabric Watch classes.
