— Feature keys are only valid for a switch with a specific serial
number. They cannot be interchanged between switches. If an
error stating "Invalid serial number" displays, verify that you
have entered the feature key that was assigned to the switch.
To verify, check the serial number of the switch through the
Switch Properties dialog box and compare it to the serial
number listed in the documentation provided with your
feature key. Refer to
for instructions on displaying the Switch Properties dialog box.
— The feature key is a string of alphanumeric characters with
dashes. The key is case-sensitive, so enter the key exactly as
printed in the documentation that you received for the feature.
If an error stating "Invalid feature key" displays, verify that
you have entered the feature key correctly.

that are active are included in the new feature list.
