◦
Enter the correct chassis serial number when ordering the license. The serial number must be for
the same chassis on which you plan to install the license. Use the show license host-id command
to obtain your chassis serial number.
◦
Enter serial numbers accurately. Do not use the letter "O" instead of a zero in the serial number.
◦
Order the license that is specific to your chassis.
•
Back up the license file to a remote, secure place. Archiving your license files ensures that you will not
lose the licenses in the case of a failure on your system.
•
Install the correct licenses on each system, using the licenses that were ordered using that system's serial
number. Licenses are serial-number specific and platform specific.
•
Use the show license usage command to verify the license installation.
•
Never modify a license file or attempt to use it on a system for which it was not ordered. If you return
a chassis, contact your customer support representative to order a replacement license for the new chassis.
