2 licenseAdd licenseAdd Adds a license key to a switch. SYNOPSIS licenseadd license DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS EXAMPLES SEE ALSO Use this command to add a license key to a switch. Some features of the switch and the fabric to which it is connected are optional, licensed products. Without a valid license installed for such products, their services are not available. A license key is a string of any length consisting of upper- and lowercase letters and numbers. License keys are case-sensitive. The license must be entered exactly as issued. The system may accept an incorrectly entered license, but the licensed products will not function. After entering the license, use the licenseShow command to validate the product associated with the license. If no licensed products are shown, the license is invalid. After you enter a license, the licensed product is generally available immediately without requiring further action. The following exceptions apply: • Some licenses may require you to refresh the ports before to activate the license. Depending on your system, use the portDisable/portEnable, switchDisable/switchEnable or chassisDisable/chassisEnable commands to refresh the ports. • Some licenses may require that you reboot the switch to activate the license. The licenseAdd command will prompt you to reboot the switch. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. This command has the following operand: license Specifies the license key to be installed.
