Replacing a VCS Demo License with a Permanent License

When a VCS demonstration key license expires, you can replace it with a permanent license using the vxlicinst(1) utility. Replace a demo key using the following procedure:

1. Make sure you have permissions to log in as root on each of the systems in the cluster.
2. Shut down VCS on all systems in the cluster:
     # hastop -all -force

   This does not shut down any running applications.

3. Enter the permanent license key using the following command on each system:
     # cd /opt/VRTS/bin
     # ./vxlicinst -k XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX

   ---

     Note    Make sure demo licenses are replaced on all cluster systems before starting VCS.

4. Start VCS on each node:
