Maintaining Licensed Software Features - HP AA979A - StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V Administrator's Manual

Maintaining licensed software features

If you purchased an HP StorageWorks Power Pack switch model, optional software licenses are included
with the licensed Power Pack supplied with switch software.
If you did not purchased an HP StorageWorks Power Pack switch model, you can purchase licenses
separately from HP. HP then provides you with keys to unlock the optional software features.
License keys are provided on a per-chassis basis, so for products that support multiple logical switches
(domains), a license key applies to all domains within the chassis.
to unlock a licensed feature, you can either use the license key provided in the Power Pack or execute the
following procedure to generate a license key at the HP web site:
http://webkey.external.hp.com/welcome.asp.
NOTE: For each chassis to be licensed, you need a transaction key and a license ID. The transaction key
is in the Power Pack supplied with the switch software; or, when you purchase a license, HP gives you a
transaction key to be used to obtain a license key. To see a switch license ID, issue the licenseIdShow
command.
