Managing InfoScale licenses
After you have installed an InfoScale product, you may need to manage the product licenses, for example, to switch from a keyless to a permanent license type. You can manage your licenses by using the vxlicinstupgrade utility.
Note the following prerequisites for managing licenses:
Ensure that the license key file is downloaded on the local host server, where you want to apply or update the license.
You can manage the licenses only if you have installed the server components.
- The path to your installation directory is stored in the environment variable %VCS_HOME% or %VMPATH%. Navigate to the InfoScale Installation directory on your local computer by entering either %VCS_HOME% or %VMPATH% in the Windows Run utility.
- Once you are in the installation directory, open command prompt and type the following command:
vxlicinstupgrade.exe -k <key file path>
Where, the <key file path> is the absolute path of the .slf license key file saved on the local host.
Ensure that you provide the absolute path of the .slf license key file saved on your local computer. The path must be enclosed within the double quotes and without any spaces. For example, "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\SLF_PER_Keys\A2946457383_QTY10_INFOSCALE_LIC_ENT_WIN_7_4_314050392.slf"
Notes:
If you make any changes to the InfoScale Foundation, InfoScale Storage, or the InfoScale Enterprise licenses, the changes take effect when the vxsvc service starts again. If you remove all the licenses, the vxsvc service fails to start and the service recovery options are changed to "Take No Action". To start the service you must enter the licenses and then manually start the service and change the service recovery option to "Restart the Service".
