I get past the sxos screen if i do not use the license.dat, but when i place the license in the folder and boot sxos it just goes black screen after sxos logo.

I had the same problem when I first purchased SX OS. It was sd card related. Try it with a different card first. Is your switch updated enough to support eXfat? Try fat32 first then update then try exfat.

AFAIK the switch needs to be on a certain FW before it will recognize exfat. What I had to do is use a small card that was fat32 and get sx os all up and running. Then I had to do an 'offline' update to the switch to support exfat.

ok so i bought the SX OS software for the first time last night and it took me till 4am to fix my black screen issue. I had the same issues. I was able to get the license file but once i activate it and upload to the SD card i would get black screen when i turn on the switch. i installed CFW 9.2.0 and my switch now works with SX OX beta.
