Using a trial license

Using a trial license
NOTE
A trial license must be ordered from and installed by a Brocade representative only.
A trial license enables demonstration and evaluation of a licensed feature. The trial license is valid
for a period of up to 45 days, and is renewable for an additional 45 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.
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 generated. When the license expires, the CLI commands related to
the licensed feature will no longer be available from the CLI. The licensed feature will continue to
run as configured until the software is reloaded, at which time the feature will be disabled and
removed from the system.
NOTE
Trial licenses are not cumulative. The new license replaces the current license. To extend the license,
you must contact your Brocade representative.
Console, and Syslog messages for trial license expiration
Three 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 ADX-1008-1-TRL-2PPLS with LID
GHIJWYDZNN expires in 3 days
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 ADX-1008-1-TRL-2PPLS with LID
GHIJWYDZNN has expired, use license delete to remove it.
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 generated.
To extend the license, you must contact your Brocade representative.
Syslog messages information
The following Syslog messages are supported for software-based licensing.
