Usage guidelines

When you register a license for a device, you must provide its unique SN and DID.

The DID can be generated as a .did file. Upload the file when you register the license with the license center.

Examples

# Display the SN and DID for the specified slot.

<Sysname> display license device-id slot 1

SN: 210235A045B05B0004350

license activation-file install

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

Syntax

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

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

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 the device.

slot slot-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.

Usage guidelines

To install a license activation file successfully, make sure the SN and DID used for registering the feature license matches the current SN and DID of the device.

Activation files are device locked rather than MPU locked. A licensed feature can run on the entire system even after an MPU replacement.

Examples

# Install the activation file 20130811.ak to the specified slot.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license activation-file install flash:/license/20130811.ak slot 1

Parameters

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

slot slot-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.

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 the activation file flash:/license/20130811.ak from the specified slot.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license activation-file uninstall flash:/license/20130811.ak slot 1

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...

Uninstall file: flash:/license/20130811.uak

license compress

Use license compress to compress the license storage.

license compress slot slot-number

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies the member ID of an IRF member device.

Usage guidelines

Use this command if the free license storage (see the display license feature command) is not sufficient.

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 on the specified slot.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] license compress slot 1

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
