Configuring Port Activation Licenses Chapter 11 On-Demand Port Activation Licensing Send documentation comments to [email protected] . Table 11-2 Port Activation License Status Definitions Port Activation License Status acquired eligible ineligible Definition The port is licensed and active. The port is eligible to receive a license but does not yet have one. See Chapter 10, "Obtaining and Installing Licenses," for information about how to obtain and install the PORT_ACTIVATION_PKG and license key file. The port is not allowed to receive a license. By default, when you install additional port license activation packages, the activation status of ports changes from "eligible" to "acquired." If you prefer to accept the default behavior, no further action is required. Note You can uninstall licenses for ports not in use; however, you cannot uninstall default licenses.
