Console, and Syslog messages for trial license expiration

Twenty days prior to the date that a trial license is set to expire and each day until the last day, the
following warning message will appear daily on the console. On the day that the license will expire, the
warning message will appear every two hours. Syslog messages will also be generated.

SYSLOG: <12>Jan 1 00:00:00 License: Package VADX-LIC-TRL with SERIAL-NUMBER

ABC12345678 will expire in 2 days, use license delete to remove it.

When the license has expired, the following message will appear on the console. Syslog messages
will also be generated.

SYSLOG: <13>Jan 1 00:00:00 License: Package VADX-LIC-TRL with SERIAL-NUMBER

ABC12345678 has expired.

NOTE
It is recommended that you delete the expired license after adding a new one. If you do not delete the
expired license, you will continue to get an error message about the expired license such as:

Can't open a handle for license index - 10 (37(TRIAL_LICENSE_EXHAUSTED))

The Brocade Virtual ADX will continue to work with the added license.

Renewing or extending a trial license

A trial license can be extended once by another trial license of the same type, or by a normal license
of the same type. To avoid any interruptions to the network, obtain and install the second trial license
before the first license expires. When extended by another trial license, the duration is not cumulative.
The countdown starts when the trial license is installed.

To extend the license, log on to the Brocade Virtual ADX trial page at

www.brocade.com

.
