Adding a licensed feature

To enable a feature, go to the feature’s appropriate section in this manual. Enabling a feature on a
switch may be a separate task from adding the license.
For the Brocade 48000 director and the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms,
licenses are effective on both CP blades, but are valid only when the CP blade is inserted into an
enterprise-class platform that has an appropriate license ID stored in the WWN card. If a CP is
moved from one enterprise-class platform to another, the license works in the new enterprise-class
platform only if the WWN card is the same in the new enterprise-class platform. Otherwise, you
must transfer licenses from the old WWN to the new WWN.
For example, if you swap one CP blade at a time, or replace a single CP blade, then the existing CP
blade (the active CP blade) propagates the licenses to the new CP blade.
If you move a standby CP from one enterprise-class platform to another, then the active CP will
propagate its configuration (including license keys).
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Activate the license using the licenseAdd command.
3. Verify the license was added by entering the licenseShow command. The licensed features
currently installed on the switch are listed. If the feature is not listed, enter the licenseAdd
command again.
Some features may require additional configuration, or you may need to disable and re-enable
the switch to make them operational; see the feature documentation for details.
