After you have installed 3WXM, you will need to register your license and

 

the serial number with 3Com in order to obtain an activation key.

 

The base key along with its activation key enables you to manage up to 10

 

wireless LAN switches. To manage more than 10 wireless LAN switches, you

 

also need an upgrade key and an additional activation key, which you obtain

 

from 3Com. See “Serial Number and License Key” on page 22 for more

 

information.

 

If you plan to install the HP OpenView plug-in for 3WXM, which allows

 

you to integrate 3WXM into an HP OpenView environment, make sure

 

that HP OpenView is already installed.

If you are installing an evaluation copy, you still need to obtain an activation key from 3Com after installation.
