General Procedure

The general procedure for installing a software license involves several different numbers:

registration ID — This number comes with the license you purchase, and represents your right to install the particular type of license on a particular type of switch.

hardware ID — This number is provided by the switch that you are licensing, and includes the switch’s serial number and an identifier for the feature that you are licensing.

license key — This number is generated by the My ProCurve portal, based on the registration ID and the hardware ID that you provide. When you install this number into the switch, it enables the feature that you are licensing.
