Restrictions on upgrading temporary slot-based licenses
If the capacity of the permanent license is equal to or greater than the capacity of the temporary license
and you use the same slot assignments, then replacing the temporary license with a permanent license
is non-disruptive. If either condition changes, however, then the process is disruptive.
If the permanent license is for fewer slots than the temporary license and does not match the above
criteria, you must do the following:
1. Remove the temporary license. The removal process disables the feature.
2. Install the permanent license on the appropriate slots.
3. If the permanent license is for different slots than the temporary license, you must do the following:
a)
Install the permanent license. The temporary license is automatically replaced on the
original slots.
b) Deconfigure the application that uses the licensed feature on the original slots.
c) Remove the license from the original slots using the licenseSlotCfg -remove command.
d) Add the license to the new slots using the licenseSlotCfg -add command.
Date change restriction
Once the temporary license is installed, you cannot change the time of the switch until the temporary
license is removed. To change the time, you must remove the license, change the date and time, and
then re-install the license on the switch.
