When activating licenses with this command, Enterasys Networks recommends that you copy and
paste the entire license character string, rather than enter the text manually. If you enter the
character string manually, ensure that you exactly match the capitalization of the character string
sent to you.
Every license is associated with a specific hardware platform, based on the serial number of the
hardware platform. If you need to move a license from one hardware platform to another, you
must contact Enterasys Customer Support to arrange for re‐hosting of the license.
