Temporary License Support; Standards Compliance - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Release Note

Included licensed software
Enhanced Group Management—This license is included with all HP 8-Gb switches. Enhanced
Group Management enables full management of the device in a data center fabric, with increased
element management functionality and management task aggregation throughout the environment.
This license is used in conjunction with the DCFM application software.
2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch FC Ports on Demand—This new license enables all eight
FC ports on the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch.
IMPORTANT:
Most 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch units shipped with Fabric OS 6.1.2_cee1 did not
include this license and must have it installed before upgrading to Fabric OS 6.3.0. Failure to do
so will result in the disabling of FC ports after the upgrade. Contact HP Support to obtain this
license key if your 2408 switch does not already have it installed.
FCoE—This license enables Fibre Channel over Ethernet functionality on the 2408 FCoE Converged
Network Switch. Without the FCoE license, the 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch is a pure
Layer 2 Ethernet switch and will not support FCoE bridging or FCoE Forwarding (FCF) capabilities.

Temporary license support

HP does not currently support temporary licenses or Universal Temporary Licenses.
Previously licensed software now included with base Fabric OS
The capabilities described in this section are included as part of the base Fabric OS. No additional
purchase or licensing is necessary.
