Before:
telnet at NetIron CER 2024F#show ver
System: NetIron CER (Serial #: ########,  Part #: 40-1000618-01)
License: RT_SCALE (LID: ########)

After:
telnet at NetIron CER 2024F#sh ver
System: NetIron CER (Serial #: ########,  Part #: 40-1000618-01)
License: RT_SCALE, ADV_SVCS_PREM (LID: ########)

The upgrade does not require a reboot.  You get a paper that has your transaction key on it, go to my.brocade.com , license management, type in the LID and the paper key, and it emails you an xml file that you must tftp to the CER.  Then done.
