Installing Symantec product license keys


Installing Symantec product license keys
Prev	Licensing SFHA	Next

The VRTSvlic RPM enables product licensing. After the VRTSvlic is installed, the following commands and their manual pages are available on the system:

`vxlicinst`	Installs a license key for a Symantec product
`vxlicrep`	Displays the currently installed licenses
`vxlictest`	Retrieves the features and their descriptions that are encoded in a license key

Even though other products are included on the enclosed software discs, you can only use the Symantec software products for which you have purchased a license.

To install or change a license

Run the following commands. In a cluster environment, run the commands on each node in the cluster:
```
# cd /opt/VRTS/bin
```
```
# ./vxlicinst -k license key
```
Run the following Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) command to recognize the new license:
```
# vxdctl license init
```
See the vxdctl(1M) manual page.

If you have vxkeyless licensing, you can view or update the keyless product licensing levels.

See Setting or changing the product level for keyless licensing.

You can install SFHA if you install a pair of valid VCS and SF keys. Even if your VCS keys and SF keys do not show when you run the vxkeyless display command, you can still install and configure SFHA.
