Hello
I have installed the SFHA6.0 for windows 2008 with keyless option. However after I applied the permanent key, the system still show the error log in event viewer.
I seach the google then found that it should be disable the keyless option.
But I found the vxkeyless is disappear on windows server.
Thank you.

Hi pgm10s,
After applying the license key to a Windows server running the SFW/SFW-HA 6.x product, you will need to restart the SFW/SFW-HA services to get them to pickup on the change in the license key.
For SFW, you will need to restart the "vxsvc" service with the following:
1. net stop vxsvc
2. net start vxsvc
If you are running SFW-HA, then you will also need to restart VCS to get it to pick up on the change in the license key. This can be done by doing the following:
1. hastop -local -force Note: The force will leave your service groups online but stop the main cluster service (HAD.)
2. harstart
The other method is to reboot the server.
Thank you,

One can update lic using 'hasys -updatelic' followed by 'haclus -updatelic'. no need to stop VCS.

Hi Arangari,
The "hasys -updatelic" command is not valid on Windows. I'm not sure there is an equivalent on Windows.
The 'haclus -updatelic" command is a valid command for Windows.
I've use the vxlicinst.exe to install license keys before but I don't remember how it handles the VCS services to get them to use the license key.
Thank you,
Wally

Hi Wally,
The "hasys -updatelic" command is valid on Windows.
To stop the nagware message, keyless license should be removed.
To see a list of keyless licenses installed on the system
# vxkeyless display
To remove the keyless licenses
# vxkeyless set NONE

Hi Alok,
You are right. I was just running the "hays -updatelic" command on my test box and got a syntax error. I didn't look close enough at the error message. The correct syntax for using that switch with hasys is:
hasys -updatelic -sys <sys>
hasys -updatelic -all
Sorry about any confusion that I might have caused by my post. It is valid if it is used correctly.
thank you,
Wally
