Software key

View the current license key that the system uses. The license key provides access to additional features that are not available in the basic software installation.

Currently, the software key affects the virtualization feature, only. When you install the system, the basic software installation allows you to create one operator-defined vSwitch. If you purchase a software key and configure the system to use it, you can create up to nine operator-defined vSwitches.

To obtain a software key, you must supply the serial number of the system to Sun Technical Support.
