Requesting a Software License Through Email
To obtain either a permanent or a evaluation software license, contact your sales account manager or
authorized reseller. The license details are provided via email with an attached text file. Use the text file to cut
and paste the licensing information into the WebUI or command line.
Ensure that you have provided your sales person with a valid email address.
The email also includes:
l The orderable part number for the license
l A description of the software module type and controller for which it is valid
l A unique, 32-character alphanumerical string used to access the license management website, and when in
conjunction with the serial number of your controller, generates a unique software license key
Locating the System Serial Number
Each controller has a unique serial number located at the rear of the controller chassis.
You can also find the serial numbers by navigating to the Controller > Inventory page on the WebUI or by
executing the show inventory command in the CLI.
Obtaining a Software License Key
