Hi Anand,

vxlicinst(1) - Installs a VERITAS license key.
vxlicrep(1) - Reports all VERITAS license keys installed on the system.
vxlictest(1) - Identifies whether a VERITAS product feature is licensed on the system.

# vxlicinst -k
to install a new license

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Hi Robert,
Thanks for ur reply. We are already using demo license. If i install the new permanent key it will affect the existing configuration(like dgs,volumes and filesystems) or not?

Thanks

Anand

Hi again,

If you have the HP vxvm version on your system and you want to install the permanent license, it should not be a problem.

To test a license

# vxlicense -t your_license
