Activation Key Overview (CLI)
PTP 820G and PTP 820F offers a pay-as-you-grow concept in which future capacity growth and additional
functionality can be enabled with activation keys. For purposes of the activation keys, each PTP 820G or PTP 820F
chassis is considered a distinct device, regardless of which cards are included in the chassis. Each device contains a
single unified activation key cipher.
New PTP 820G and PTP 820F units are delivered with a default activation key that enables you to manage and
configure the unit. Additional feature and capacity support requires you to enter an activation key. Contact your
vendor to obtain your activation key cipher.
Note
To obtain an activation key cipher, you may need to provide the unit's serial number. See
Unit Inventory
Each required feature and capacity should be purchased with an appropriate activation key. It is not permitted to
enable features that are not covered by a valid activation key. In the event that the activation-key-enabled
capacity and feature set is exceeded, an Activation Key Violation alarm occurs and the Web EMS displays a yellow
background and an activation key violation warning. After a 48-hour grace period, all other alarms are hidden until
the capacity and features in use are brought within the activation key's capacity and feature set.
In order to clear the alarm, you must configure the system to comply with the activation key that has been loaded
in the system. The system automatically checks the configuration to ensure that it complies with the activation-
key-enabled features and capacities. If no violation is detected, the alarm is cleared.
When entering sanction state, the system configuration remains unchanged, even after power cycles. However,
the alarms remain hidden until an appropriate activation key is entered or the features and capacities are re-
configured to be within the parameters of the current activation key.
A demo activation key is available that enables all features for 60 days. When the demo activation key expires, the
most recent valid activation key goes into effect. The 60-day period is only counted when the system is powered
up. Ten days before the demo activation key expires, an alarm is raised indicating that the demo activation key is
about to expire.
