N55-8P-SSK9= license for N5K-C5548UP

[shahid2]

Hi, 

I am looking to install N55-8P-SSK9= license on my N5K-C5548UP switch to enable 8 ports for storage. 

Can I add one more license to my same switch to enable 8 more ports for storage that is 16 ports in total?

So does it mean that I can keep on adding 8 ports license each time when i want and the switch wont show the following error?

# install license bootflash:MDS20111124032427514.lic
Installing license failed: A permanent license already exists for the feature

 - @shahid2  The license is honor based , you only need to install it once and you will be able to use the other FC ports also ,
