3 Determining installed software licenses

You can check the PID setting using the configshow command as in the following example. You can use the grep -i pid qualifier to pinpoint the PID information.

switch:admin> configshow grep -i pid fabric.ops.mode.pidFormat:1 fabric.wwnPidMode:1

The 1 indicates that the WWN Based persistent PID feature is enabled. The default value is 0 for disabled.
