Managing licenses

This section explains how to allocate licenses by reserving and releasing POD assignments to specific
ports. Disabled ports are not candidates for automatic license assignment by the Dynamic POD feature.
Persistently Disable an otherwise viable port to prevent it from coming online, and thereby preserving a
license assignment for another port.
Before you can re-assign a license, you must disable the port and release the license.

Reserving a license

Reserving a license for a port assigns a POD license to that port regardless if the port is online. That license
will not be available to other ports that come online before the specified port.
Log in to the switch with a user account that has the role Admin to reserve and release licenses.
To reserve a port license:
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Enter the licensePort --show command to verify that there are port reservations still available.
