Backing Up Licenses

To manage your software licenses, select Operations > Licenses.
See the Help for procedures on managing licenses.
Each NBX system includes a factory default license, tied to the system
serial number.
On the NBX V3000, the serial number is located on the back of the
chassis.
On SuperStack 3 systems, the serial number is located on the disk tray.
On NBX 100 systems, the serial number is located on the Call
Processor backplane.
To configure the system to support new licenses, contact your 3Com
dealer and provide the serial number. The dealer obtains a new license
key from 3Com Customer Support that enables the upgrade.
See the Help for procedures for adding a license to an NBX system.
The only license that you can remove from an NBX system is the disk
mirroring license, which enables a SuperStack 3 NBX system to use two
disks in a mirrored configuration.
CAUTION: See "Reverting to a Single-Disk System"
instructions on how to remove the disk mirroring license. If you do not
follow the correct procedure, you may not be able to restart the
SuperStack 3 NBX system.
The Usage Report displays, for each license installed on the NBX system,
the current number of devices in use for the license type and the
maximum number of devices allowed by that license.
3Com recommends that you make a backup of all licenses on your NBX
system.
1 In the Operations > Licenses dialog box, click Backup Licenses.
2 Click Save, choose a location to save the backup file, and click Save.
You can also run license backup from the Operations > Manage Data tab.
