licenseAdd Adds license keys to switch. Synopsis licenseadd "license" Availability admin Description Use this command to add license keys to the system. Some features of the switch and the fabric to which it is connected are optional, licensed products. Without a license installed for such products, their services are not available. After you enter a license, the licensed product is available immediately and the system does not need to be rebooted. An exception to this general handling is that the switch must be rebooted if a fabric license is added to a switch that lacks a fabric license. In this case, the switch must be rebooted to allow the software to recognize the license and initialize itself correctly. Also, there is special handling required when a trunking license is added to the switch. For a trunking license to become effective, the trunk ports need to be refreshed using the commands portDisable and portEnable, or the switch must be refreshed using the commands switchDisable and switchEnable. Operands This command has the following operand: license Specify a license key, in quotation marks. This operand is required. Examples To add a license key to the switch: switch:admin> licenseadd "aBcDeFGh12345" adding license key "aBcDeFGh12345" See also licenseRemove licenseShow 322 Fabric OS commands
