The ICX 7150 switch has the following license upgrades possible if the corresponding part number is purchased.



The ICX 7150 uses Self-Authenticated Upgrade (SAU) licensing feature that allows you to upgrade or downgrade to a licensed feature set with a single command.
NOTE: The SAU license install command replaces other licensing commands for installing or deleting a licensed feature. More importantly, you no longer need to install a license file using TFTP or SCP, or delete a license using the license delete command.

What are the steps to Enable the ICX 7150 purchased license?

Pre-requisites to perform the license enabling: A purchase order has to be placed with Ruckus order management as needed. Once the order is processed, you will be provided with a  unit number and the purchased license name.

We need to get the License Serial Number from the Ruckus Certificate of Entitlement (CoE) PDF file. This file can be obtained from the support portal by searching with the serial number of the unit (after license activation) and then downloading the file.

NOTE: The following steps to enable the license is valid from 08.0.7  and above.
