Usage Guidelines

This command disables and uninstalls the feature license contained in the RMS license file. This command accepts filename as a .lic file that contains one or more licenses to be uninstalled. This is the license file that was used to install license. Only files with .lic extension are accepted.

The revoke option invalidates the feature license and generates a revocation certificate, which is the first step to release the license entitlement back to the license entitlement manager (LEM), whereas the withhold option retains the license entitlement with the switch, and thus, the original license can be used to reinstall the feature license. If the specified file name (for revocation_file) does not have an .rvk extension, it is automatically appended.

If you use this command to disable and remove the license, this removes the configuration capability of related features. However, the functionality continues to work until the next reboot.

To install a license, use the command install license file filename {slot slot}.

To uninstall a specific license product, use the command uninstall license product product_name [revoke revocation_file | withhold] {slot slot}

To view the licenses installed on your switch, use the show licenses {[slot slot |all]} {detail} command.

Example

The following example uninstalls the license with filename mylicense.lic, so that it can be re-installed on the switch at a future date:

# uninstall license file mylicense.lic withhold
