[c-nsp] Advanced Metro license, ME-3600

[Eric A Louie]

Thanks for the help.  That didn't work.  I opened a case with TAC to get the 
secret formula, because all my searches for "activate evaluation 
license advanced metro" gave me no configuration hints.
 Much appreciated,

The Eval license does not require a license be obtained from CCO.  Only 
permanent non-expiring licenses require the special file/key.

sw6.nsw(config)#license boot level advancedMetroIPAccess

Pretty sure this is all you need to activate the 60 day eval.

Unfortunately I don't have any ME3600s around that don't have the ADV 
license to test with.

This is the exact same process as other newer Catalyst switches, FWIW. 
It's not unique to this platform.
