Maintaining licensed features
Feature licenses might be part the licensed Paper Pack supplied with switch software, or you can purchase
licenses separately from your switch vendor, who will provide you with keys to unlock the features. License
keys are provided on a per-chassis basis, so for products that support multiple logical switches (domains),
a license key applies to all domains within the chassis.
To unlock a licensed feature, you can either use the license key in the Paper Pack supplied with switch
software, or launch an internet browser and go to the HP licensing web site at
