To retrieve the license:

1. Log in to the NVIDIA Enterprise support portal.
2. From the Downloads tab, click Switches and Gateways.
3. Under Switch Software, click All downloads next to Cumulus Linux for Mellanox Switches.
4. Select the current version and the target version, then click the Show Downloads Path button.
5. Click on the download icon for the Generic Cumulus License to display the generic license.

To verify that you installed the license on the switch, run the cl-license command.
