CompactFlash Card

License Steps

Node License

Vol. IV-4-2
The license is held within a CompactFlash card, which is identified by a unique
license serial number (The Compactflash card number is the license number).
This card inserts into the side of the NCC plug-in, or into the rear of an IDU. The
CompactFlash also stores the configuration and support data.
A CompactFlash card can be moved to another 9500 MXC Node or Terminal,
which acquires the licensed capability and configuration data from the previous
Node/Terminal (Terminals must be compatible).
When a license is upgraded, the upgrade is specific to a CompactFlash card.
Refer to:
• Node License
• IDU ES License
