change the controller licensing (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP).

Good morning,
We have had to change the controller in one of our FAS2552 and we are complaining about a
licensing (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP).
It didn't happen to us before.
Can someone help us how to recover the license or how to put it in again.
Thank you.

If the replacement motherboard/PCM was from NetApp Support, new licenses would have been generated for the new controller's system serial number.

Hello,
What would be the way to generate the new license then?
Thank you and regards
