Usage guidelines
Each device has a unique SN and DID. When you register a license for a device, you must provide its SN and DID.
If uninstalled licenses or expired licenses exist on the device, the DID changes each time you use the license compress command to compress the license storage. Use the display license device-id command to identify the up-to-date DID each time you register licenses.
The DID can be generated as a string or .did file.
· If the DID is a string, enter the string when you register the license with the license center.
· If the DID is contained in a .did file, upload the file when you register the license with the license center.
Examples
# Display the device SN and DID.
<Sysname> display license device-id

Parameters
file-name: Specifies the file path, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters.
Usage guidelines
Use this command to revoke an unexpired license if you want to transfer the license from one device to another.
When an activation file is uninstalled, the system creates an Uninstall file. Use this file together with the SN and DID of the transfer destination to register the license for the transfer destination.
A feature cannot run after you uninstall all of its activation files.
Trial licenses are not transferrable. When you uninstall the activation file of a trial license, no Uninstall file is created.
Examples
# Uninstall activation file flash:/license/20130810.ak.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] license activation-file uninstall flash:/license/20130810.ak
This operation might take some time. Do not perform any other operations until the operation is completed or a failure message is displayed. Please wait...Done.

Use license compress to compress the license storage.

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Usage guidelines
Use this command if the free license storage (see the display license feature command) is not sufficient.
This command clears expired licenses and uninstalled licenses that are installed by using activation files.
If uninstalled licenses or expired licenses exist on the device, the compression operation will make the DID change. Before performing a compression, make sure all licenses registered with the old DID have been installed. You will be unable to install such licenses after the compression.
This command clears invalid licenses (expired licenses and uninstalled licenses) and Uninstall keys from the license storage area. Back up the Uninstall keys before you compress the license storage.
Examples
# Compress the license storage.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] license compress
This command will delete all data relevant to uninstalled and expired keys/licenses, including Uninstall keys, and create a new device ID for activation keys/files. Make sure you have saved the Uninstall keys so you can apply for a new activation key/file for the unexpired licenses that were covered by the uninstalled activation keys/files.
Are you sure you want to continue? [Y/N]: Y
