Performing a Manual Installation Identifying License Features in Use Tip We recommend backing up your license files immediately after installing them and just before running a write erasecommand. Caution If you erase any existing licenses, you can only install them using the install license command. Identifying License Features in Use When a Cisco NX-OS software feature is enabled, it can activate a license grace period. To identify the features active for a specific license, use the show license usage license-name command. switch# show license usage FC_FEATURES_PKG Application ----------PFM ----------- Use the show license usage command to identify all of the active features on your switch. switch# show license usage Feature Ins Lic Status Expiry Date Comments Count FM_SERVER_PKG No - Unused - ENTERPRISE_PKG No - In use Grace 119D 23H FC_FEATURES_PKG Yes - In use never - Uninstalling Licenses You can only uninstall a permanent license that is not in use. If you try to delete a permanent license that is currently being used, the software rejects the request with an error message. Uninstalling an unused license initiates the grace period. The grace period is measured from the first use of the feature without a license and is reset when a valid license file is installed. Note Permanent licenses cannot be uninstalled if they are currently being used. Features turned on by permanent licenses must first be disabled, before that license is uninstalled. If you are using an evaluation license and would like to install a new permanent license, you can do so without service disruption and before the evaluation license expires. Removing an evaluation license immediately triggers a grace period without service disruption. Caution Disable related features before uninstalling a license. The delete procedure fails if the license is in use. Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch CLI Software Configuration Guide 58 OL-16597-01
