Obtaining a license key
License upgrade orders are fulfilled either through a license activation paperpack, or by an e-mail
message containing a transaction key and a link to the Brocade software portal. A device-specific
license file is generated in the software portal when you enter the transaction key along with the
switch license ID. Use the // action to obtain the switch license ID.
Follow the instructions in the paperpack or the e-mail message as described for your platform and
license type. The transaction key is case-sensitive; you must enter the key exactly as it appears in
the paperpack. To lessen the chance of an error, copy and paste the transaction key when you
install the license on your switch.
You will receive an e-mail message with the software license keys embedded in an XML file along
with installation instructions.
NOTE
Store the license key in a safe place for future reference. You cannot retrieve the license key from
the configuration datastore.
