Serial Number Issues

Make sure that you use the correct chassis serial number when ordering your license. Use the show license
host-id command to obtain the correct chassis serial number for your system using the CLI.
If you use a license meant for another chassis, you might see the following system message:
Error Message: LICMGR-3-LOG_LIC_INVALID_HOSTID: Invalid license hostid VDH=[chars] for
feature [chars].
Explanation: The feature has a license with an invalid license Host ID. This can happen if
a supervisor module with licensed features for one system is installed on another system.
