Chapter 4 Managing Licenses License Transfers Between Switches Send feedback to [email protected] The grace period stops if you disable a feature you are evaluating, but if you enable that feature again without a valid license, the grace period countdown continues from when it had stopped. The grace period operates across all features in a license package. License packages can contain several features. If you disable a feature during the grace period and there are other features in that license package that are still enabled, the countdown does not stop for that license package. To suspend the grace period countdown for a license package, you must disable every feature in that license package. Use the show license usage license-name command to determine which applications to disable. switch# show license usage FC_FEATURES_PKG Application ----------PFM ----------- The Cisco NX-OS license counter keeps track of all licenses on a switch. If you are evaluating a feature and the grace period has started, you will receive console messages, SNMP traps, system messages, and Call Home messages on a daily basis. The frequency of these messages become hourly during the last seven days of the grace period. Note You cannot modify the frequency of the grace period messages. Caution After the final seven days of the grace period, the feature is turned off and your network traffic may be disrupted. Any future upgrade will enforce license requirements and the 120-day grace period. Use the show license usage command to display grace period information for a switch. switch# show license usage Feature Installed License Status ExpiryDate Comments Count FM_SERVER_PKG Yes - Unused never license missing MAINFRAME_PKG No - Unused never Grace Period 57days15hrs ENTERPRISE_PKG Yes - InUse never - SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP No 0 Unused never - SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4 No 0 Unused never - License Transfers Between Switches A license is specific to the switch for which it is issued and is not valid on any other switch.
