Value line licenses

If your fabric includes a switch with a limited switch license and you are launching Advanced Web Tools
using that switch, and if the fabric exceeds the switch limit indicated in the license, Advanced Web Tools
allows a 45-day grace period in which you can still monitor the switch through Advanced Web Tools.
However, Advanced Web Tools displays warning messages periodically.
These messages warn you that your fabric size exceeds the supported switch configuration limit and tells
you how long you have before Advanced Web Tools will be disabled. After the 45-day grace period,
you will no longer be able to launch Advanced Web Tools from the switch with the limited switch license
if that switch is still exceeding the switch limit.
Value line fabric licensing is applicable only to the SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V. These
licenses are indicated by 2 Domain Fabric and 4 Domain Fabric in the License tab of the Switch
Admin module. See

switch, you can manage other switches in the fabric that have lower or higher firmware versions. It is
important to note that when accessing these switches you are opening the remote switch's version of
Advanced Web Tools, and the functionality available for those switches might vary.
