Deleting a license

A license will remain in the license database until it is deleted. To delete a license, enter commands
such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

Use the show license command to identify the index number of the license that you want to delete.

Virtual ADX# show license

Index Package Name Serial-Number LicenseType Status LicensePeriod Bandwidth

1 VADX-LIC-DEV ABC12345678 Developer active unlimited 1 Mbps

2 VADX-LIC-10M ABC12345678 normal active unlimited 10 Mbps

Syntax: show license

Use the following command to delete the license with index number "1".

Virtual ADX# license delete 1

This command immediately removes the license with index number "1", from the license database. The
licensed feature will continue to run as configured until the software is reloaded. Syslog messages are
generated when the license is deleted.

Syntax: license delete index_number

The index_number variable specifies the index number of the license that you want to delete, as shown
in the output of an unqualified show license command.

NOTE
You must reload the software for a license deletion to take effect.

Using a trial license

A trial license enables demonstration and evaluation of a single Brocade Virtual ADX instance. The trial
license is valid for a period of up to 60 days, and is renewable for an additional 60 days if required. A
licensed feature operating under a trial license has the same functionality (CLI and show commands)
as it does when operating under a normal license. To access the trial license and software, please go to

MyBrocade

.

What happens when a trial license expires

A trial license will expire when it exceeds the specified expiration time or date. The countdown starts
when the trial license is installed on the Brocade Virtual ADX instance. When the license expires, the
CLI commands related to the licensed feature will no longer be available from the CLI.

NOTE
Trial licenses are not cumulative. The new license replaces the current license. To purchase the
Brocade Virtual ADX production license, please contact your Brocade representative or visit the
Brocade online store to purchase the product.
