Obtaining a Factory-Installed License
You can obtain factory-installed licenses for a new Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
To obtain a factory-installed license, perform this task:
Step 1 Contact your reseller or Cisco representative and request this service.
Note If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you
purchased support directly from Cisco Systems, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL:

Your switch is shipped with the required licenses installed in the system. The proof of purchase
document is sent along with the switch.
Step 2 Obtain the host ID from the proof of purchase document for future use.
You can now start to use the switch and the licensed features.
