Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Licensing Guide - Manual (Page 21)

The scp license_file_on_host user @ IP_address :license command is supported on FSX 800 and FSX
1600 devices.
To copy a license file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of the Brocade device, enter
a command such as the following on the SCP-enabled client.
scp c:\license\license101 [email protected]:license
Syntax: scp license_file_on_hostuser@ IP_address:license
On FCX and ICX devices, to copy a license file from an SCP-enabled client to the license database of a
specific unit, enter a command such as the following on the SCP-enabled client.
scp license.xml [email protected]:license:3
In the example the license is copied to unit 3.
Syntax: scplicense_file_on_hostuser@IP_address:license:unit_id
The unit_id variable specifies a unit for which you want to add a software license file. The unit_id
variable can be from 1 through 8.
Verifying the license file installation
Use the show license command to verify that the license is installed on the device. Details about this
command are in
Viewing information about software licenses on page 23.
Deleting a license file
A license remains in the license database until it is deleted. If you want to delete a license, Brocade
recommends that you first disable the licensed feature before deleting the associated license.
NOTE
If a trial license and a normal license for the same licensed feature are added to the system (in either
order), the normal license cannot be deleted first. The trial license should be deleted first, and then the
normal license can be deleted. If necessary, the same trial license can be reinstalled and used as long
as it has not expired.
Deleting a license on FSX 800 and FSX 1600 devices
To delete a license, enter a command such as the following at the privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
device# license delete 7
The license delete command immediately removes the license from the license database. The CLI
commands related to the licensed feature will no longer be available from the CLI. The licensed feature
will continue to run as configured until the software is reloaded, at which time the feature will be
disabled and removed from the system. Syslog and trap messages are generated when the license is
deleted.
Syntax: license delete index_number
