Web Tools, the EGM license, and DCFM

Beginning with Fabric OS version 6.1.1, Web Tools functionality is tiered and integrated with DCFM.
If you are migrating from a Web Tools release prior to Fabric OS version 6.1.1, this may impact how
you use Web Tools.
A Web Tools license is not required, and a basic version of Web Tools is available for free.
Additional functionality may be added by obtaining the Enhanced Group Management (EGM)
license.
license is only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class
platforms, the Encryption Switch, and the 300, 5100, and 5300 switches. For non-8 Gbps
platforms, all functionalities are available without the EGM license.
Also beginning with Fabric OS version 6.1.1, some Web Tools capabilities are moved from Web
Tools to DCFM.
