Making a Port Eligible for a License

By default, all ports are eligible to receive a license. However, if a port has already been made "ineligible" and you wish to activate it, then you must make that port eligible.

To make multiple ports eligible to acquire a license using Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Interface > FC All and click the License tab or hold down the Control key, and then click each port that you want to make eligible.
  2. Right-click the selected ports, select Configure, and click the License tab.
  3. Select eligible from the Config drop-down list for each port that you want to make eligible.
  4. Click Apply to save the changes.

To make a single port eligible to acquire a license using Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click a port, select Configure, and click the License tab.
  2. Click the eligible radio button to make the port eligible.
  3. Click Apply to save the changes.
