Appendix A: Acquiring the Serial Number of your QLogic 5602 Fibre Channel
Switch
There are two methods to acquire a Serial Number for entering into the License Key
Activation or Replacement Activation forms. The most reliable is to retrieve the
Serial Number (SN) via software. This may be accomplished from the command line
or from the SANsurfer Switch Manager (not available for all products). Another
method is physically looking at serial number.
Serial Number Formats
It is very important that you enter the entire serial number. If any part of the serial
number is different or truncated, the license key that is generated will not work.
The Formatting for the QLogic 5602 Serial Number looks like this:
0000A0000
