Delete a License Key File
Use this procedure to delete a license key file from an SL500 library.
You may need to delete a license key file if there is an error in an installed file. Sun will
issue a new license key file with the same sequence number as the original, and you
must delete the original license key file before installing the new one.
Caution – Deleting a license key file is an exceptional situation. Be sure it is what you
really want to do before you begin this procedure. Having extra license key files
installed on a library does not present any problems (for example, Capacity licenses
that exceed the physical capacity of the library); the extra licenses are simply not used.
Caution – Deleting a Capacity license key file reduces the licensed capacity of the
affected library module. This can result in orphaned cartridges and data that could be
lost. See “Decreasing Licensed Capacity” on page 141 and “Orphaned Cartridges in
Non-Partitioned Libraries” on page 140 for details.
Caution – Deleting a Partitioning license key file deletes the Partitioning feature from
the library. See “Deleting the Partitioning Feature” on page 148 for details about the
effects on the library configuration.
1. Use the SL Console to log in to the target library.
See “Log in to the SL Console” on page 29 for details.
