PowerSwitch: Enterprise SONiC: Dynamic Licensing

You may require this guide in the following cases:

1. You are contacting Dell support for your Network Operating System (NOS) and have been asked to provide your Software ID (SWID).
2. You must verify your support level for your dynamic NOS license.
3. You are unsure where to locate your Software ID in Dell Digital Locker (DDL).

Dell Enterprise SONiC licensing is transitioning from traditional licensing to dynamic licensing. As part of this change, a Software ID (SWID) is now required to verify your support level when contacting support.

The following steps can be used to find your Dell Enterprise SONiC Software ID (SWID) in order to engage Dell Support.
There are two methods that you can employ:

1. Using the Software and License Central Portal
