> # Automatic License Assignment

> When the Fabric is first discovered if the switch does not have a valid switch-based license, a license is automatically assigned to the Fabric from the file license pool until no more licenses are left in the pool. Also, if you have an existing Fabric and a new switch is added to the Fabric, the new switch will be assigned a license if one is available in the file license pool and if it does not already have a switch-based license.
