Chapter 9 Obtaining and Installing Licenses
Installing Licenses Using Fabric Manager License Wizard
The License Server URL changes depending on the vendor you select. If your URL is different, or if you
select Other as the vendor, enter the correct license server URL.
Note In some cases, license validation from Cisco partners requires Java version 1.4.2_04 or higher.
If you cannot install licenses from a Cisco partner, check to make sure your Java version is at
least 1.4.2_04.
Step 6 Click Next to continue to the next screen.
Step 7 Select the switches for which you have PAKs or license key files.
When you check the checkbox for a switch, the PAK or license file name field for that switch becomes
editable. The VDH=<serial number> for each switch is shown in the Host ID column.
Step 8 Enter the PAK or license file name for each switch you have selected in the appropriate column. If you
have the license files on your PC, you can double-click on the License File Name text area to bring up a
dialog box and browse for the license files.
You can install multiple licenses on the same switch using different PAKs. To do this, enter the PAKs
separated by commas.
Step 9 Click Finish to transfer the licenses from the host to the switches.
Fabric Manager accesses the appropriate license site and installs the licenses onto each switch. The
status of each installation is displayed in the Status column, as follows:
•success—Install or uninstall operation completed successfully.
•inProgress—License install or uninstall operation is in progress.
•corruptedLicenseFile—License file content is Invalid/Corrupted.
•targetLicenseFileAlreadyExist—Target license file name already exists.
•invalidLicenseFileName—License file does not exist.
•duplicateLicense—License file is already installed.
•generalLicensingFailure—General error from License Manager.
•none—No install operation is performed.
•licenseExpiryConflict—License exist with a different expiration date for the feature.
•invalidLicenseCount—License count is invalid for the feature.
Step 10 Click the Close button to close the wizard. To install more licenses at this point, you must close the
wizard and launch it again.
