Activating a license on the controller
To activate a license on the controller, you must add the license key. If the controller has no

• To use the controller UI to activate a license, see “Adding and activating a license using the
controller UI” (page 92)
• To use a Python script on the controller to complete this task, see “Activating a license using
a script” (page 93)
• To use curl commands and the REST APIs to complete this task, see “curl commands”
(page 170).
