Adding Licenses Purchased from Cisco.com

Purchased licenses are delivered in the form of an encrypted key, which appear within an E-mail message
or within a text file attached to an E-mail. When ordering additional licenses, you must provide the back
plane serial number for the switch that will host the licenses. The output generated by the dsplicnodeid
command is part of the encryption key.
The general procedure is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The following procedure describes how to obtain the back plane serial number so that you can purchase
licenses, and it describes how to install licenses when you receive them.
Establish a configuration session using a user name with SERVICE_GP privileges or higher.
Step 1
Step 2 Purchase additional licenses from Cisco.com. After you purchase additional licenses, a Product
Authorization Key (PAK) will be mailed to you.
Step 3 To display the switch serial number used for licensing, enter the dsplicnodeid command. If no licenses
have been installed, the switch will generate a node license ID as shown in the following example:
M8850_SF.7.PXM.a > dsplicnodeid
The BkPL recorded Lic Seq Num did not exist. Creating with 0.
NodeID=SCA062300GF:000000:004:009:015
If the switch has an existing node license ID, it is displayed as follows:
M8850_SF.7.PXM.a > dsplicnodeid
NodeID=SCA062300GF:000001:004:009:015
