Managing ACE Appliance Software Licenses
Step 2 Remove the license with the license uninstall command. For example, to remove the
ACE30-MOD-04-K9.LIC license, enter:
host1/Admin# license uninstall disk0:ACE-4710-01-K9.lic
The ACE displays the following messages and prompt:
Clearing license ACE30-MOD-04-K9.lic:

VENDOR cisco

Do you want to continue? (y/n)
Step 3 If you have not saved the running configurations for the Admin and user contexts to a remote server,
enter n. Go to Step 1.
If you saved the running configurations for the Admin and user contexts to a remote server, enter y.
During the license removal, the ACE removes the user context configurations from the Admin running
configuration, causing the deletion of all user contexts including their running and startup
configurations.
Step 4 Display the current number of supported contexts on the ACE by entering the show license status
command in Exec mode of the Admin context.
Step 5 Determine which contexts you want to keep in the Admin running configuration. Using a text editor,
manually remove the extra context configurations from the Admin running configuration on the remote
server.
If the Admin running configuration contains more contexts than what the ACE supports and you copy
this configuration to the ACE, the ACE rejects contexts that exceed the supported limit. For example, if
the running configuration contains 20 contexts, when you remove the license, the ACE supports five
contexts. If you attempt to copy the configuration with all 20 contexts, the ACE allows the first five
contexts, fails the remaining contexts, and displays error messages on the console.
Note You can also manually recreate the user contexts in the running configuration that is currently
on the ACE. If you do, go to Step 7.
Step 6 Retrieve the modified Admin running configuration from the remote server. For example, to copy the
R-CONFIG-ADM Admin running configuration from the TFTP server, enter:
host1/Admin# copy tftp://192.168.1.2/R-CONFIG-ADM running-config
Step 7 Copy the Admin running configuration to the startup-configuration file. For example, enter:
host1/Admin# copy running-config startup-config
Note If you do not update the startup configuration with the latest running configuration, when the
ACE restarts, it uses the startup configuration with the extra contexts. The ACE allows the
number of contexts that the license supports, but fails the remaining contexts.
