HP Serviceguard for Linux Advanced Version 12.00.00 Release Notes, May 2014

4. If the license is valid, keep the new license file $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt

and delete the old license file $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt.sav.

If the license is invalid, restore the original license:

mv $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt.sav $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt

NOTE: If you wish to upgrade from Advanced to Enterprise licence repeat steps from 1 to 4.

4.3 Validating the permanent license

IMPORTANT: Ensure that you validate the permanent license before the 90–day grace period

for the instant-on license expires.

To validate the permanent license:

1. Run the following command:

#cmgetlicense -f line

2. On successful renewal, the output of the command looks as follows:

#cmgetlicense -f line

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_count=1

node:node1|license_type=Advnaced|license_valid_for_days=Indefinite

NOTE:

• If you install higher license than the one already installed on the system, the license on

the node is upgraded.

For example, if you have HP Serviceguard for Base and install HP Serviceguard for

Advanced, the license on the node is upgraded to Advanced and the cmgetlicense

-f line command displays the following output:

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_count=1

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_valid_for_days=Indefinite

• If you have more than one type of license installed on the system, the cmgetlicense

-f line command displays the information about highest level license. For example, if

you have HP Serviceguard for Base and HP Serviceguard for Advanced installed on the

system, the cmgetlicense -f line command displays the following output:

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_count=1

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_valid_for_days=Indefinite

• If you have multiple license of the same type installed on the system, the cmgetlicense

—f line command displays the following output:

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_count=3

node:node1|license_type=Advanced|license_valid_for_days=Indefinite
