Procedure 3-4
Managing Licenses
Step Action
1 Install a license key. You can install a license key directly by identifying the
license key and module number. When the module number is not specified,
the value defaults to 1.
Alternatively, you can install by specifying a license file, which identifies the
license key and module, along with the server from which to download the file.
software license install {license-key <String[32]> module
<NUMBER: 1-3>} | {file <FileName> server <IPHost>}
Example:
software license install license-key W1SSH2D3E4FGH5
2 Display the status of installed licenses on the
5150.
software license show
Each license name displays one of the following statuses:
• Not Installed - Also referred to as an invalid license. This means that none
of the operationally enabled modules has a key installed for this license.
• Installed - Also referred to as a valid license. This means that all of the
operationally enabled modules have a key installed for this license and
all conditional requirements for such license installation have been
satisfied.
• Partial License Detected - This means that one or more, but not all,
operationally enabled modules have a key installed for this license.
You have installed the license.
