Note that this license requirement does not depend upon the total number of DCX 8510 chassis that exist in a fabric, but only on how many chassis are interconnected via ICLs. This license is only recognized/displayed when operating with FOS v7.0.1 but enforced with FOS v7.1.0 or later. Note: The EICL license supports a maximum of nine DCX 8510 chassis connected in a full mesh topology or up to ten DCX 8510 chassis connected in a core-edge topology. Temporary License Support The following licenses are available in FOS v7.1 as Universal Temporary or regular temporary licenses:  Fabric (E_Port) license  Extended Fabric license  Trunking license  High Performance Extension license  Advanced Performance Monitoring license  Adaptive Networking license  Fabric Watch license  Integrated Routing license  Server Application Optimization license  Advanced Extension license  Advanced FICON Acceleration license  10GbE FCIP/10G Fibre Channel license  FICON Management Server (CUP) license  Enterprise ICL license Note: Temporary Licenses for features available on a per slot basis enable the feature for any and all slots in the chassis. Temporary and Universal Temporary licenses have durations and expiration dates established in the licenses themselves. FOS will accept up to two temporary licenses and a single Universal license on a unit. Universal Temporary license keys can only be installed once on a particular switch, but can be applied to as many switches as desired. Temporary use duration (the length of time the feature will be enabled on a switch) is provided with the license key. All Universal Temporary license keys have an expiration date upon which the license can no longer be installed on any unit. Other Licensing Changes  The capabilities associated with the Adaptive Networking and SAO licenses are included by default on the Brocade 6520. Hence these licenses are not applicable to the Brocade 6520 platform. Fabric OS v7.1.0a Release Notes v1.0 Page 18 of 41
