This software includes several optional features that system operators can elect to 
enable on their systems. Some of these features require that the system operator 
obtain a license for the feature to be activated; others can simply be activated by 
engineers at Cisco Services without a license. 

Important:  Any features that are currently enabled or licensed do not have to be re-
enabled. 

Determine which optional features (licensed or unlicensed) need to be enabled as a 
result of this upgrade. You will activate these optional features while the system 
processes are down. 

If any licensed features are to be enabled as a result of this upgrade, contact your 
account representative to purchase the required license.
