Transferring licenses

You can transfer a license from one platform to another. To do so, you must first uninstall each

license from the controller.

NOTE: License transfer is an “all license” or “no license” process. Partial transfers are not

permitted.

Before you transfer licenses

Before you transfer licenses, you must first:

• Uninstall all licenses, as described in “Uninstalling licenses to prepare for transfer”.

• Obtain an Install ID for each transfer, as described in “Obtaining an Install ID”.

Uninstalling licenses to prepare for transfer

To uninstall licenses:

1. Use the authentication command to obtain a new token:

curl -sk -H 'Content-Type:application/json'-d

'{"login":{"user":"MyUser","password":"MyPassword","domain":"sdn"}}'

https://MyControllerIP:8443/sdn/v2.0/auth

• Replace MyUser and MyPassword with your actual values.

• Replace MyControllerIP with your controller IP address.

NOTE: If you are installing a High Availability license, enter the IP address

of the lead controller.

Output similar to the following appears:

"userName":"sdn",

"domainId":"30e34b7630e74c81969aefaa738e02bc",

"domainName":"sdn"}}

2. Use the following command to obtain information about all installed licenses on your controller.

curl -sk -H "X-Auth-Token:MyToken"

https://MyControllerIP:8443/sdn/v2.0/licenses

• Replace MyToken with the token created in step 1.

• Replace MyControllerIP with your controller IP address.

NOTE: If you are uninstalling a High Availability license, enter the IP address

of the lead controller.

The installed license information appears in JSON format, as shown in Example 6.
