Feature-Based Licenses (continued)
DMM_FOR_SSM_PKG
Installing any license in any switch is a nondisruptive process.
Installing a license automatically saves a copy of permanent licenses to the chassis in all switches.
Enabling a license feature without a license key starts a counter on the grace period. You then have
120 days to install the appropriate license keys or disable the use of that feature. If at the end of the
120-day grace period the switch does not have a valid license key for the feature, the feature is
automatically disabled by the switch.
The license software runs on both supervisor modules and provides failover protection.
The license key file is mirrored on both supervisor modules. Even if both supervisor modules fail,
the license file continues to function from the version that is available on the chassis.
Obtain a factory-installed license (only applies to new switch orders).
Perform a manual license installation (applies to existing switches).
