Serial Number and
License Key
3WXM comes with a base license key, which is provided on the CD cover.
To use 3WXM Services, you need to enter the base key and an activation
key, which you obtain from 3Com. The base key and activation key
enable you to manage up to 10 wireless LAN switches. To manage more
than 10 wireless LAN switches, you also need an upgrade key and
additional activation key, which you obtain from 3Com.
Each time you connect the 3WXM client to the 3WXM services, it checks
the license information. If the product is not licensed, the License wizard
is displayed.
