What happens when a trial license expires
A trial license will expire when it exceeds the specified expiration time or date. The countdown
starts when the trial license is generated. When the license expires, the CLI commands related to
the licensed feature will no longer be available from the CLI. The licensed feature will continue to
run as configured until the software is reloaded, at which time the feature will be disabled and
removed from the system.
NOTE
Trial licenses are not cumulative. The new license replaces the current license. To extend the license,
you must contact your Brocade representative.
Console, and Syslog messages for trial license expiration
Three days prior to the date that a trial license is set to expire and each day until the last day, the
following warning message will appear daily on the console. On the day that the license will expire,
the warning message will appear every two hours. Syslog messages will also be generated.
SYSLOG: <12>Jan 1 00:00:00 License: Package ADX-1008-1-TRL-2PPLS with LID
GHIJWYDZNN expires in 3 days
When the license has expired, the following message will appear on the console. Syslog messages
will also be generated.
SYSLOG: <13>Jan 1 00:00:00 License: Package ADX-1008-1-TRL-2PPLS with LID
GHIJWYDZNN has expired, use licence delete to remove it.
Renewing or extending a trial license
A trial license can be extended once by another trial license of the same type, or by a normal
license of the same type. To avoid any interruptions to the network, obtain and install the second
trial license before the first license expires. When extended by another trial license, the duration is
not cumulative. The countdown starts when the trial license is generated.
To extend the license, you must contact your Brocade representative.
Deleting a license
A license will remain in the license database until it is deleted. To delete a license, enter a
command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
ServerIronADX# license delete 7
NOTE
Only upgrade licences are allowed to be deleted. You cannot delete a base license.
This command immediately removes the license from the license database. The licensed feature
will continue to run as configured until the software is reloaded, at which time the feature will be
disabled and removed from the system. Syslog messages are generated when the license is
deleted.
Syntax: license delete <index_number>
