Generating Upgrade License Codes
Upgrade license codes can be generated in WlscGen or using a command-line version of the upgrade license code generator. This is useful if you need to generate license codes as part of an automated process using a batch file.
NOTE Before generating the upgrade license code you need to generate the upgrade locking code for the base license using echouid.exe. Also, remember to attach the meter key.
Here is a sample of the command-line upgrade code generator user interface:

Notes:
- The format X/Y/Z/... takes values as 0/1/2... respectively.
- Symbol | indicates a choice of two values.
- If the base is a non-capacity license, then the upgrade license code does not prompt for capacity upgrade option. The version upgrade option is set by default.
