When a VCS demonstration 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 VCS on all nodes in the cluster:
# hastop -all -force
Enter the permanent license key using the following command on each node:
# cd /opt/VRTS/bin # ./vxlicinst -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
Make sure demo licenses are replaced on all cluster nodes before starting VCS.
# cd /opt/VRTS/bin # ./vxlicrep
# hastart
