Performing e-licensing
Electronic licensing (e-licensing) provides the ability to acquire licenses online for switch-based software
features. You must already have purchased the licenses and obtained a transaction key in electronic
format. Electronic transaction keys are provided as a file, typically delivered as an attachment to an e-mail.
NOTE: If your fabric infrastructure provider does not support the delivery of electronic transaction keys,
e-licensing is not available.
