You can use the vxlicinst command to add the SFCFSHA license key on each node. If you have SFCFSHA already installed and configured and you use a demo license, you can replace the demo license.

To update product licenses

On each node, enter the license key using the command:
```
# vxlicinst -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
```

Replacing a SFCFSHA demo license with a permanent license

When a SFCFSHA demo key license expires, you can replace it with a permanent license using the vxlicinst(1) program.

To replace a demo key

Make sure you have permissions to log in as root on each of the nodes in the cluster.
Shut down SFCFSHA on all nodes in the cluster:
```
# hastop -all -force
```
This command does not shut down any running applications.
Enter the permanent license key using the following command on each node:
```
# vxlicinst -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
```
Make sure demo licenses are replaced on all cluster nodes before starting SFCFSHA.
```
# vxlicrep
```
Start SFCFSHA on each node:
```
# hastart
```
