/oper/swkey
Activating Software
Use this command to activate any purchased feature. Before you can activate any new feature, you must obtain a license key from Radware Technical Support.
If you are running GEL:
1. Verify that the license server (local/LLS or cloud/CLS) was configured properly. (See “Appendix C - Deploying the Global Elastic License (GEL)” of the Alteon Maintenance and Installation Guide for configuring the CLS, or the Radware vDirect Global Elastic License - Local Server User Guide.)
2. Run the /cfg/sys/gel command to display the GEL License Server Configuration menu and make sure that the GEL configuration is properly set.
For more information on the licensing procedures, see the Alteon Maintenance and Installation Guide.
These licenses are installed by the Global Administrator.
Note: Before entering the license request for the license server you need to verify that Alteon is configured to the correct time and time zone. Changing the time after the license is obtained can cause the license to be rejected.
To activate your license key 
1. Connect to the CLI and log in as the administrator (see The Command Line Interface).
2. Enter the command /oper/swkey <license_key>, where license_key is the license provided to you by Radware Technical Support.
3. For GEL license activation:
a. Enter the entitlement ID.
b. Enter the required throughput.
Note: Throughput license value should be one of the following (in Mbps): 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, 300, 500, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 10000, 15000, 20000, 30000, 40000, 50000, 60000, 100000, 160000, 230000
c. Enter the DPS package add-on (if you have purchased such and want it to be installed on the Alteon instance): 2 - Perform add-on, 3 - Secure add-on, or press enter if you do not want to license this VA with the DPS add on.
A confirmation message displays when the license installation is complete.
