A. XCM8800 Software Licenses A This appendix includes the following sections: • Overview on page 793 • Switch License Features on page 794 • Displaying Software Licenses and Feature Packs on page 798 • Obtaining a License Voucher on page 799 • Enabling and Verifying Licenses on page 799 • Obtaining Feature Packs on page 799 Overview The XCM8800 software supports the following license options: • NETGEAR Aggregation Code • NETGEAR Advanced Core Code • Feature packs The NETGEAR Aggregation Code provides a basic feature set and the NETGEAR Advanced Core Code provides the highest level of functionality. The NETGEAR Aggregation Code is the default license for the NETGEAR 8800. Software keys are stored in the EEPROM of the chassis and, once enabled, persist through reboots, software upgrades, power outages, and reconfigurations. Because the license is stored in the EEPROM of the chassis (and not on the MSM/MM card), the license persists even if you change MSM/MM cards. The keys are unique to the chassis or switch and are not transferable. If you attempt to execute a command and you either do not have the required license or have reached the limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages: Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level. Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level. Appendix A. XCM8800 Software Licenses | 793
