Description

Use this command to remove a license from a switch or to deactivate a temporary license that
cannot be removed.

Usage Guidelines

You cannot display the license string once you install it. If you do not remember the string, use the
feature name displayed in the show license command output to remove the license.

Depending on the feature being removed you must first clear all license-related configurations,
and possibly disable and re-enable selected ports for this command to take effect. Follow the
instructions in the command output.

This command deactivates but does not permanently remove time-based trial licenses.

You must disable or remove all configurations related to a licensed feature before you can remove
the license for that feature. To remove the 10G and 40G Port Upgrade licenses, you must remove
all non-Base-allowance port reservations for the respective license type.

In the Network OS v3.0.0 release this command is supported only on the local RBridge.
