Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Use the license backup command to back up the licenses stored in the persistent storage on the router. We recommend this so that you can restore the licenses at one time while recovering from a failed disk situation. The destination location can be local to the system; in other words, a flash disk or hard disk. Alternatively, it can be a remote file on a TFTP or rcp server. The license information includes the licenses as well as the operational information, such as the slot the licenses are allocated to and the current license operation identifier.

If the backup file already exists, you are prompted to confirm before the file is overwritten.

When licenses are backed up, they can be restored as required using the license restore command.

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
pkg-mgmt	execute

Examples

The following example shows how to back up the licenses on a router:

License command "license backup disk1:/license_back" completed successfully. 

Related Commands

Command	Description
license restore	Restores the licenses on a router using an earlier backup copy.
show license backup	Displays the backup license file.

license move

To move a license from one secure domain router (SDR) license pool to another, use the license move command in administration EXEC mode.

license move feature-id { all | count } sdr source-sdr-name sdr dest-sdr-name [ evaluation | permanent ]

Syntax Description

feature-id	Identifier for the feature entitled in the licenses to be moved. You can display available licenses using the show license command.
all	Specifies to move all available licenses with the specific feature identifier.
count	Number of licenses to move.
sdr source-sdr-name	Specifies the SDR license pool from which to move the specified licenses. The source-sdr-name argument is the name assigned to the SDR.
sdr dest-sdr-name	Specifies the SDR license pool to which the license should be moved. The source-sdr-name argument is the name assigned to the SDR.
evaluation	Specifies to move an evaluation license.
permanent	Specifies to move a permanent license.

Command Default

Command Modes

Administration EXEC

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 3.9.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

By default, there is only one license pool available. If you have created multiple license pools, you can use the license move command to move the license to a different SDR license pool.

The license move command is used only to move licenses between SDR license pools on the same router. To move licenses between routers, you must first remove the license from the original router using the license remove command, and then add it to the new router using the license add command. To move licenses between routers, you also need to generate a new license key on Cisco.com. The license registration tool is located at https:/​/​tools.cisco.com/​SWIFT/​Licensing/​RegistrationServlet.

Licenses can be moved only if they are in the available state. In other words, you have to clear the feature configuration before a license can be released back to the appropriate license pool.

The license move slot command moves slot-based licenses from one slot to another slot on the same router.

Use the allocated keyword to move all allocated licenses into the available state. The allocated keyword must be used in conjunction with the available keyword. If no allocated licenses are available that match the feature identifier, the license move slot command revokes used licenses on the given slot.

If licenses are going to be revoked on the source card, a warning prompt is displayed.

Licenses can be moved only if they are in the available state. In other words, you have to clear the feature configuration before a license can be released back to the appropriate license pool.

Table 1  show license Field Descriptions

Field	Description
FeatureID	Feature to which the licenses apply. The type of license is designated as one of the following: Permanent licenses—Enable a designated feature permanently as long as the license resides on the router. Evaluation or metered licenses—Enable a feature for a limited period of time. Implicit licenses—Metered licenses that are included with the software image (upgrade or initial installation).
Total licenses	Number of licenses on the router.
Available for use	Number of licenses that are not currently active.
Allocated to location	Number of licenses allocated to a slot but not used.
Active	Number of licenses currently checked out or being used by applications.
Pool	License pool to which the licenses belong.
Total licenses in pool	Number of licenses in the specific pool.
Status	Indicates the number of licenses in each state. Licenses can have the following states: Available—License is available in the pool and can be assigned to a slot/feature process. For example, a recently added 40-Gbps license to the router is available before it gets checked out by a card. Allocated—License is assigned to a slot but is unused. In other words, the feature process is not using the license. For example, a 40-Gbps license is allocated to slot 5 if the license was previously used but the card is currently in the shutdown state. Active—Feature process has checked out a license. Generally this happens when the feature is actively using the license. For example, if a card is in IOS XR RUN state and is passing traffic at 40 Gbps, a 40-Gbps license is in the used state in that slot. Operational—All licenses that are either active or allocated. Expired—License has expired. This is applicable only for evaluation licenses or licenses granted by Cisco.
Locations with licenses	Slot where the licenses are being used, followed by an indication of whether the license is active or allocated, and to which license pool it belongs.

show license active

To display license information for all licenses that are currently checked out or being used by an application, use the show license active command in EXEC or administration EXEC mode.
