Installing a VCS License

The utility vxlicinst installs a new permanent license or updates a demo license. You must have root privileges to use this utility. This utility must be run on each system in the cluster: it cannot install or update a license on remote nodes.

1. Install the new license on each node in the cluster using the vxlicinst utility.
2. Update system-level licensing information on all nodes in the cluster:
      # hasys -updatelic -all

   You must update licensing information on all nodes before proceeding to the next step.
