Using the Feature Extraction Tool

Use the Feature Extraction Tool (FET) to capture (inventory) the customer options
and other data from pre-R10 Definity switches. You must do this before a valid
license can be created.
FET produces an output file which is used by the Remote Activation Feature
(RFA) to populate the system record with existing feature settings to support an
upgrade to R10 or higher. This file containing existing switch configuration and the
SAP order for the R10 or higher upgrade information together produces a valid
license.
— If the switch has been upgraded to R10 or higher, do not use FET.
— Only a single FET output file can be imported for an individual system
record.
— FET supports V4 to R9 DEFINITY releases.
— Use the FET only when the switch cannot be contacted remotely. Any
customer may use this tool to capture their switch configuration and email
the output file to the account team for the completion of a license.
NOTE:
The FET and instruction on how to use it are available at:

1. Begin a transaction record in RFA.
2. Capture the transaction record.
3. Open and run FET.
4. Input transaction record #.
5. Store encrypted file produced by FET in local PC.
6. Go to RFA and complete your transaction record in order to create a
license.
