NOTE: Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter it incorrectly, the license will not function properly. c. After entering the license key, use the licenseshow command to check to see if it is valid. If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid. NOTE: After you enter a license, the licensed product is available immediately; the system does not require a reboot. 3. Next, configure the inactive ports. Use the portstart command to start the ports. (This command loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables the port laser.) For example: portstart 16-32 4. Use the portenable command to enable the ports. For example: portenable 16-32 5. Optionally, use the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports are "Started."
