Installing Software Licenses
Some features require a software license and are restricted only to a licensed user. Purchasing a license
part number along with an authorization code from Alcatel-Lucent is required. The authorization code is
then used to generate a license file.
To generate a license file, install the file on the switch, and active features, do the following:
1 Log on to https://service.esd.alcatel-lucent.com/portal/page/portal/EService/LicenseGeneration and
provide the serial number and MAC address of the switch along with the authorization code. Use the serial
number and CMM MAC address from the show chassis command.
A license file, for example swlicense.txt, is generated. A license file can have any name.
2 Save the swlicense.txt file in the /flash directory of the primary CMM.
3 To install the license onto the switch, use the license command with the file name and reboot the
switch. For example:
-> license apply file /flash/swlicense.txt
4 To verify the installation after reboot, use the show license-info command.
Note. For multiple entries of serial numbers, MAC addresses, and authorization codes, use a CSV format-
ted file and upload the file on to the website. A single license file is generated for all the switches.
Once the license is applied it is written to the EEPROM and the license file is no longer needed.
