10.Activate and verify the license as follows:

switch:admin> licenseadd "key"
The license key is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as given. The quotation marks

For the Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director, licenses are effective
on both CP blades and on all logical switches, but are valid only when the CP blade is inserted
into a chassis that has an appropriate license ID stored in the World Wide Name (WWN) card. If
a CP is moved from one chassis to another, the license works in the new chassis only if the WWN
card is the same in the new chassis. Otherwise, a new license key is generated.
For example, if you swap one CP blade at a time, or replace a single CP blade, the existing CP
blade (the active CP blade) propagates the licenses to the new CP blade.
If you move a standby CP from one chassis to another, the active CP propagates its configuration
(including license keys).
c. Verify that the license was added by issuing the licenseShow command.
The licensed features currently installed on the switch are listed. If the feature is not listed, reissue
the licenseAdd command.
d. Some features may require additional configuration, or you might need to disable and reenable
the switch to make them operational; see the feature documentation for details. For example:
switch:admin> licenseshow
