The installvcs script handles most license key validations. However, if you install a VCS key outside of installvcs (using vxlicinst, for example), you can validate the key using the procedure described below.
node lock: Ensures that you are installing a node-locked key on the correct system
demo hard end date: Ensures that you are not installing an expired demo key
License Key = XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX Product Name = Veritas Cluster Server License Type = PERMANENT OEM ID = 4095 Features :
Platform = AIX
Version = 6.0 Tier = Unused Reserved = 0 Mode = VCS Global Cluster Option = Enabled
Make sure the Product Name lists the name of your purchased component, for example, Veritas Cluster Server. If the command output does not return the product name, you do not have a VCS key installed.
If the output shows the License Type for a VCS key as DEMO, ensure that the Demo End Date does not display a past date.
Make sure the Mode attribute displays the correct value.
If you have purchased a license key for the Global Cluster Option, make sure its status is Enabled.
