NAME
vxlicrep - Reports all Symantec license keys installed on
the system.
SYNOPSIS
vxlicrep [-gse] [-i] [-k Key1, Key2, ...] [-h] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
Reports licensing information about Symantec products
licensed and installed on a system, including Elan License
Manager (ELM) keys. The output includes product information
(name, version, product ID) and the contents of the
product-specific data encoded in each license key.
ARGUMENTS
-g Generates the default report. See the NOTES sec-
tion below for details about the different types
of reports. If no switch is provided, the default
report is generated.
-s Generates a short version of the report.
-e Generates an expanded version of the report.
-i Displays valid license keys only. If no switch is
provided, both valid and invalid keys are
displayed.
-k Key1,Key2,...
Displays details about one or more specified
license keys. If entering multiple keys, separate
each key with a comma. Use with the -g, -s, or -e
switch to control the amount of information
displayed for each key.
You can use this switch to verify that a license
key is correct for a product. You might want to
test a license key before running vxlicinst with
that key.
-h Lists and describes the command line switches
available for this command.
-v Displays the version of this utility.
Notes
Default Report--Outputs product information encoded in each
license key. Product information includes the license key
string, product name, version, serial number, license type
(Demo, NFR, permanent), and OEM ID if applicable. If the
license is for a Demo or NFR license, the information
includes the duration of the license and whether it has
expired. The tool also reports site license and node-locked
keys. For node-locked keys, the tool indicates whether the
key is valid on the host system.
Short Report--Outputs only the license key string, product
name, and license type of each license key reported.
Expanded Report--Outputs the same information contained in
the default report. In addition, the expanded report pro-
vides the following:
o The version of the Symantec license key library used in
the product.
o Indicates when the license is for an edition or a point
product in an edition.
o If the report is for an ELM key, the license key ver-
sion field displays "ELM." (Reports for ELM keys might
not include all the fields reported for Symantec
proprietary keys.)
