MPSM Licensing

MPSM Licensing Information

The multiprotocol service module (MPSM) family of cards includes the MPSM-T3E3-155 and
MPSM-8T1E1 service modules. With proper licensing, these cards can provide multiple services or
features. The MPSM provides these services and features with the same hardware and same runtime
firmware image using License Management. License Management is a software component that grants
and enforces the use of licensed services. This appendix explains License Management functions and
