1.5 License Keys
Licenses control the availability of some of the features accessible from the unit.
A License Key consists of a feature, and the number of instances of this feature that
are allowed within the chassis or option card.
License Keys are allocated on a ‘first configured first served’ basis within the
chassis. If an attempt is made to enable a feature, but the required license key is not
available then the feature is not enabled, and a log message is generated.
When a function that has a license associated with it is disabled, the license key is
released within 1 second, and thereafter available to be re-allocated.
