Acquiring a License for a Port
If you do not prefer to accept the default on-demand port license assignments, you will need to first
acquire licenses for ports to which you want to move the license.
To acquire licenses for multiple ports using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Interface > FC All and click the License tab or hold down the Control key, and then click each
port for which you want to acquire a license.
