Deleting a license file
The scp <license_file_on_host> <user>@<IP_address>:license command is supported on FESX,
SX 800 and SX 1600, and FWS devices.
To copy a license file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of the Brocade device,
enter a command such as the following on the SCP-enabled client:
c:\scp c:\license\license101 terry@10.1.1.1:license
Syntax: scp <license_file_on_host> <user>@<IP_address>:license
On FCX and ICX devices, to copy a license file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of
a specific unit, enter a command such as the following on the SCP-enabled client:
scp license.xml terry@10.20.91.39:license:3
In the example above, the license is copied to unit 3.
Syntax: scp <license_file_on_host> <user>@<IP_address>:license:<unit id>
The unit <unit_id> parameter specifies a unit for which you want to add a software license file. The
<unit_id> variable can be from 1 through 8.
Verifying the license file installation
Use the show license command to verify that the license is installed on the device. Details about
this command are in “Viewing information about software licenses” on page 227.
Deleting a license file
A license remains in the license database until it is deleted. If you want to delete a license, Brocade
recommends that you first disable the licensed feature before deleting the associated license.
NOTE
If a trial license and a normal license for the same licensed feature are added to the system (in either
order), the normal license cannot be deleted first. The trial license should be deleted first, and then
the normal license can be deleted. If necessary, the same trial license can be reinstalled and used
as long as it has not expired.
Deleting a license on FESX, SX 800 and
SX 1600, and FWS devices
To delete a license, enter a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
Brocade# license delete 7
This command immediately removes the license from the license database. 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. Syslog and trap messages are generated when the license
is deleted.
Syntax: license delete <index_number>
