Licensed features

You need the following items for each feature that needs to be licensed:
• Transaction key in the paperpack document supplied with the switch software. Or, when you purchased
a license, you received a transaction key to use for generating a software license key.
• License ID. To see a switch license ID, issue the licenseIdShow command.
Feature licenses may be part of the licensed paperpack supplied with your switch software; if not, you can
purchase licenses separately from HP. License keys are provided on a per-product and per-feature basis.
Each switch within a fabric will need its own licensing.
NOTE: To preserve licenses on your switch, perform a configupload prior to upgrading or
downgrading your Fabric OS.
If you downgrade your Fabric OS to the version earlier than 6.1.x, some licenses associated with specific
features of Fabric OS 6.1.x may not work.
Licenses can be associated with a feature version or a blade type.
• If a feature has a version-based license, that license is valid only for a particular version of the feature.
If you want a newer version of the feature, you must purchase a new license.
Version upgrade: For example, a zoning license that is for Fabric OS version 6.x is added. You can
add another zoning license with a version greater than 5.2.0 and above without removing the zoning
license for Fabric OS 5.2.0. Upgrading is allowed, but downgrading is not supported.
If a license is not version-based, then it is valid for all versions of the feature.
• If a license is associated with a blade type, the licensed feature can be used only with the associated
blade; if you want to use the feature on a second blade, you must purchase an additional license.
