Licensing FAQs
If you must replace your installed licenses, follow these rules.
Base licenses must be replaced first. For example, if replacing stand-alone licenses CC-E1-512 and
CCL-512 with cluster licenses CC-2XE1-512 and CCL-512, the
base license CC-E1-512 must be replaced before replacing the
CCL-512 add-on license.
Note that while the add-on feature CCL-512 is the same for both
stand-alone and cluster, the license file would have one host ID
for the stand-alone and two host IDs for the cluster license. The
add-on licenses must also be replaced in this situation.
Replacing a base clears all add-ons if
they are of a different type. If you replace a standalone base license with a cluster base
license, or vice versa, the add-ons will be cleared automatically,
and new ones with the correct host IDs would be required.
Replacing a base does not clear all
add-ons if they are of the same type
and the host IDs match. For example, a CC-E1-512 could be used to replace a
CC-E1-256. If the host IDs were the same on both licenses,
the add-on licenses are still valid.
When operating in a cluster with
standalone licenses, the cluster must
be deleted to replace standalone
licenses, then re-joined. Since standalone licenses are not shared by cluster members,
each CC-SG operating in a cluster with standalone licenses
must have equivalent licensed node capacity.
Instead of adding licensed node capacity to each of the CC-SG
units, customers may prefer to transition to cluster licenses in
order to be able to share the licenses between the two CC-SG
units.
Delete the cluster temporarily, replace the licenses, and then
re-build the cluster.
Replacement of a base license will
require the user to check out
features. After licenses are replaced, go to the License Manager page,
review the available features and check them out as needed.
They will not be checked out automatically. See
