Removing a Virtualization Context License
The number of virtual contexts and type of licenses currently installed on the ACE
determines which license you can remove. Table 3-4 lists the currently installed
contexts, the type of license on the ACE, and the remaining number of context
after the license is removed.
Caution When you remove a demo or permanent virtual context license, the ACE removes
all user contexts from the Admin running configuration. By removing the user
contexts, their running and startup configurations are also removed from the ACE.
Before removing any virtual context license, save the Admin running
configuration and the user context running configurations to a remote server.
To remove a context license, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Save the Admin and user context running configurations to a remote server by
entering the copy running-config command in Exec mode in each context. For
more information on this command, see Chapter 4, Managing the ACE Software.
For example, to copy the Admin running configuration to an TFTP server as
R-CONFIG-ADM, enter:
host1/Admin# copy running-config tftp://192.168.1.2/R-CONFIG-ADM
To copy the C1 user context running configuration to an TFTP server, access the
C1 context and enter:
host1/C1# copy running-config tftp://192.168.1.2/R-CONFIG-C1
Step 2 Remove the license with the license uninstall command. For example, to remove
the ACE-AP-VIRT-020.LIC license, enter:
host1/Admin# license uninstall ACE-AP-VIRT-020.lic
