Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies the slot number of an MPU. (In standalone mode.)

chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies an MPU in an IRF member device. The chassis-number argument represents the member ID of the IRF member device. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the MPU on the device. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

Each MPU has a unique SN and DID. When you register a license for an MPU, you must provide its SN and DID.

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 .id 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 an .id file, upload the file when you register the license with the license center.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Display the SN and DID of the MPU in slot 0.

<Sysname> display license device-id slot 0

SN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Device ID: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

# (In IRF mode.) Display the SN and DID of the MPU in slot 0 on IRF member device 2.

<Sysname> display license device-id chassis 2 slot 0

SN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Device ID: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

license activation-file install

Use license activation-file install to install a license activation file.

Syntax

In standalone mode:

license activation-file install file-name slot slot-number

In IRF mode:

license activation-file install file-name chassis chassis-number slot slot-number

Parameters

file-name: Specifies the file path, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters. The activation file must be valid and stored on an MPU's flash memory.

slot slot-number: Specifies the slot number of an MPU. (In standalone mode.)

chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies an MPU in an IRF member device. The chassis-number argument represents the IRF member ID of the device. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the MPU on the device. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

For a successful license activation file installation, make sure the following requirements are met:

·     The SN and DID used for registering the feature license match the current SN and DID of the specified MPU.

·     No one else is installing an activation file on the device you are working with.

You can install the activation files of multiple licenses for a feature. The feature can be used as long as one of the licenses is valid.

Activation files are MPU locked rather than device locked. A licensed feature can run on the MPU where its activation file is installed even after the MPU is moved between devices.

For a license-based feature package to run correctly, you must install one license on each MPU and make sure the licenses are the same. This requirement is true of an IRF fabric and a device in standalone mode.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Install the activation file 20110810.ak on the MPU in slot 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license activation-file install flash:/license/20110810.ak slot 0

This operation might take some time. Do not perform any other operations until t

he operation is completed or a failure message is displayed. Please wait...    

The activation file has been installed.

# (In IRF mode.) Install the activation file 20110813.ak on the MPU in slot 0 of IRF member device 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license activation-file install flash:/license/20110813.ak chassis 2 slot 0

This operation might take some time. Do not perform any other operations until t

he operation is completed or a failure message is displayed. Please wait...    

The activation file has been installed.

license activation-file uninstall

Parameters

file-name: Specifies the file path, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters.

slot slot-number: Specifies the slot number of an MPU. (In standalone mode.)

chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies an MPU in an IRF member device. The chassis-number argument represents the IRF member ID of the device. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the MPU on the device. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

A feature cannot run on the device after you uninstall all its activation files.

Use this command to revoke an unexpired license if you want to transfer the license from one MPU to another. For a successful uninstallation, make sure no one else is uninstalling an activation file on the device you are working with.

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.

Trial licenses are not transferrable. When you uninstall the activation file of a trial license, no Uninstall file is created.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Uninstall the activation file flash:/license/20110810.ak from the MPU in slot 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license activation-file uninstall flash:/license/20110810.ak slot 0

This operation might take some time. Do not perform any other operations until t

he operation is completed or a failure message is displayed. Please wait...     

Uninstall file: flash:/license/20110810.uak

# (In IRF mode.) Uninstall the activation file flash:/license/20110813.ak from the MPU in slot 0 on IRF member device 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license activation-file uninstall flash:/license/20110813.ak chassis 2 slot 0

This operation might take some time. Do not perform any other operations until t

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies the slot number of an MPU. (In standalone mode.)

chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies an MPU in an IRF member device. The chassis-number argument represents the IRF member ID of the device. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the MPU on the device. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

This command clears invalid licenses (expired licenses and uninstalled licenses) and Uninstall files from the license storage area. Back up the Uninstall files before you compress the license storage.

The DID changes each time the license storage is compressed. Before performing a compression, make sure all licenses registered with the old DID have been installed. They cannot be installed after the compression.

For a successful compression, make sure no one else is compressing the license storage on the device you are working with.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Compress the license storage on the MPU in slot 0.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license compress slot 0

This command will delete all data relevant to uninstalled and expired keys/licen

ses, including Uninstall keys, and create a new device ID for activation keys/fi

les. Make sure you have saved the Uninstall keys so you can apply for a new acti

vation 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
