Fabric Manager Server Licensing

When you install Fabric Manager, the basic version of the Fabric Manager Server (FMServer) is installed
with it. To get the enhanced features, such as Performance Manager and remote client support you will
need to buy and install the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Server license package.
However, trial use of these enhanced features is available. To enable the 120-day trial, you simply use
the feature as you would if you had purchased the license. You see a dialog box explaining that this is a
demo version, enabled for a limited time.
If you are evaluating Fabric Manager Server features and want to stop the evaluation period for that
feature, you can do that using Device Manager.
To stop the evaluation using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select Admin > Licenses.
You see the Licenses dialog box.
Step 2 Click the Features tab and select the feature to check in.
When you select the feature, you see a Check In FM button at the bottom of the dialog box.
Click Check In FM to stop the demo period timer.
