Administering license keys
This section shows how to use Fabric Manager to administer the license keys that are required for various
Fabric OS features.
You can use Fabric Manager to display, store, load, and reload your license keys in the event of a switch
failure. With e-licensing, you can request license keys online and install them with Fabric Manager. The
Fabric OS features requiring license keys are:
• Full Fabric
• Extended Fabric
• Entry Fabric
• Advanced Zoning
• Advanced Performance Monitoring
• Trunking
• Security
• QuickLoop
• SES
• Fabric Watch
• Remote Switch
• Remote Fabric
• Advanced Web Tools
An Advanced Web Tools license must be installed on a switch before Fabric Manager can recognize
the switch. All other licenses can be installed using Fabric Manager.
Exporting license keys
You can export the license keys of multiple switches to a single file. You can even export keys from different
switches in different fabrics to one file. The file matches the license keys to the WWN of the appropriate
switch so you can quickly and easily import the keys at any time. Export license keys from healthy switches
to a file so you can restore the licenses when switches fail. If for any reason you need to recover your
license keys, import those keys from the file you created.
