Moving Licenses
It may be necessary to move licenses from one controller to another or to delete a license for future use. To
move licenses, delete the license from the chassis as described inDeleting a License on page 146. Then install
the license key on the new controller as described in Applying the Software License Key in the WebUI on page
146.
ArubaOS provides the ability to move a license from one controller to another, for maximum flexibility in managing
an organization’s network and to minimize an RMA impact. Dell monitors and detects license fraud. Abnormally high
volumes of license transfers for the same license certificate to multiple controllers can indicate a breach of the Dell
end user software license agreement and will be investigated.
Resetting the Controller
Rebooting or resetting a controller has no effect on either a permanent or a evaluation license.
Issuing the write erase command on a controller running software licenses does not affect the license key
management database on the controller.
Issuing the write erase all command resets the controller to factory defaults, and deletes all databases on the
controller, including the license key management database. You must reinstall all previously-installed license
keys.
On a W-7200 Series controller, you can reset controller using the LCD screen. Issuing the Factory Default
option under the Maintenance menu returns the controller to the factory default settings. For more
information about the LCD menu, see Using the LCD Screen on page 99.
