HP HPE VAN SDN Controller 2.7 - Activating a License on the Controller; Uninstalling Licenses to Prepare for Transfer

1. Use the following command to obtain the SDN controller-assigned install_id value.
curl [options] -H "X-Auth-Token:token" \
https://controller_ip:8443/sdn/v2.0/licenses/installid
• Replace token with the token created in step 2.
• Replace controller_ip with your controller IP address.
NOTE: If you are installing a High Availability license, enter the IP address of the lead
controller.
A numerical install_id appears. For example: 1249679
2. Record your install_id for use in the next part of the license registration process.
Activating a license on the controller
Using your license key, you must now activate a license on the controller, completing the license
registration and activation process.
To activate a license on the controller:
1. If your previous curl session has closed or timed out, re–enter the authentication command
to obtain a new token.
2. Use this command to activate the license on the controller.
curl [options] -H "X-Auth-Token:token" \
-d license_key \
https://controller_ip:8443/sdn/v2.0/licenses
• Replace token with the token you obtained using the authentication command.
• Replace license_key with the key obtained in “Registering your license and obtaining
a license key”. You can view the key by logging on to the My Network portal and
selecting My Licenses, as shown in Figure 54.
• Replace controller_ip with your controller IP address.
NOTE: If you are installing a High Availability license, enter the IP address of the lead
controller.
The installed license information appears in JSON format, as shown below.
