I guess at least anybody who upgraded from Sup720 to Sup2T bought Supervisor and license separately and not bundled as part of a filled chassis. kind regards Rolf > On 08/29/2013 11:12 PM, "Rolf Hanßen" wrote: >> Hi, >> >> so there is no key or certificate or reference number at all ? > > There is no electronic licensing, that's correct.
