Viewing License Information in Device Manager
To view license information in Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select Licenses from the Admin menu. You see the Licenses dialog box.
Step 2 Click the Features tab to see the name of the feature package, the type of license, the expiration date,
the grace period (if you do not have a license for a particular feature), and any errors, such as a missing
license. Click the Files tab to display the information about each of the License Key files installed on
your switch. Click the Install tab to install or update a license file. Click the Usage tab to see the
applications that are using the features on the switch.
Uninstalling Licenses
You can only uninstall a permanent license that is not in use. If you try to delete a permanent license that
is currently being used, the software rejects the request and issues an error message. Uninstalling an
unused license causes the grace period to come into effect. The grace period is counted from the first use
of the feature without a license and is reset when a valid license file is installed.
Note Permanent licenses cannot be uninstalled if they are currently being used. Features turned on by
permanent licenses must first be disabled, before that license is uninstalled.
