Using a trial license
The <index_number> variable is a valid license index number. The license index number can be
retrieved from the show license command output. For more information, refer to “Viewing
information about software licenses” on page 227.
Deleting a license on FCX and ICX devices
To delete all license files for a specific unit, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC
level of the CLI:
Brocade# license delete unit 3 all
To delete a specific license file from a unit, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC
level of the CLI:
Brocade# license delete unit 3 index 3
Syntax: license delete unit <unit_id> [all | index <license_index>]
The <unit_id> variable specifies the unit ID number.
The all option allows you to delete all license files for a specific unit.
The index <license_index> parameter specifies the software license file, and is generated by the
member unit. The license index number is the license file you want to delete from a unit. The
license index number is not unique across stack units, and the user must specify both the unit
number and the index number to delete a license from a specific unit. For example, the
FCX-ADV-LIC-SW license is installed on both stack unit 3, index 1, and stack unit 5, index 1.
Because the index numbers are the same, the user must specify both the unit number and the
index number to delete a license from a specific unit.
Using a trial license
NOTE
A trial license must be ordered and installed by a Brocade representative only.
A trial license enables demonstration and evaluation of a licensed feature. The trial license is valid
for a period of up to 45 days, and is renewable for an additional 45 days on the second time. A
licensed feature operating under a trial license has the same functionality (CLI and show
commands) as does a licensed feature operating under a normal license.
What happens when a trial license expires
A trial license expires when it exceeds the specified expiration time or date. The countdown starts
when the trial license is generated. When the license expires, 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 system is reloaded, at which time the feature will be disabled and removed
from the system.
NOTE
Trial licenses are not cumulative. The new license replaces the current license. To extend the license,
you must contact your Brocade representative.
