License Key Field Descriptions
When Enterasys supplies a license, it will be sent to you as a character string similar to the
following:
INCREMENT D2Policy 2006.0127 27-jan-2011 0123456789AB 0123456789AB
The contents of the six fields, from the left, indicate:
•

character string above.
•
Date‐based version (DBV)—a date‐related string. For the D‐Series, the value in this field is not
significant.
•
Expiration type—indicates whether the license is a permanent or an evaluation license. If the
license is an evaluation license, this field will contain the expiration date of the license. If the
license is a permanent license, this field will contain the word "permanent."
•
Key—the license key.
•
Host ID—the serial number of the switch to which this license applies.
When activating licenses on Enterasys devices, we recommend that you copy and paste the license
character string, rather than entering the text manually.
Clearing, Showing, and Moving Licenses
Licenses can be displayed, applied, and cleared only with the license commands described in this
chapter. General configuration commands such as show config or clear config do not apply to
licenses.
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.
