Updating the license

You can either prolong your license expiration date or upgrade it to add more licensed resources to the cluster. By default, a lease or annual license is automatically prolonged if it is active in the KA server. You can also do this manually in the command-line interface. To increase the license limit, you need to obtain a new license key and register it.

Prerequisites

The license is installed, as described in Installing the license.
The cluster has access to the KA server.

To manually prolong the current license

Use the following command:

vinfra cluster license update [--server <ka-server>]

--server <ka-server>: Explicitly specify what Key Administration (KA) server to use in the format <hostname>[:<port>].

For example, to update the current license via the default KA server, run:

# vinfra cluster license update

To upgrade to a new license

Admin panel

On the Settings > License screen, click Upgrade license.
In the Register license key window, paste the license key, and then click Register.

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra cluster license load <license-key>

<license-key>: A new license key

For example, to register the license key B64A8W-JAF5DD-YZVONE-5KN41K-L1B9VD, run:

# vinfra cluster license load B64A8W-JAF5DD-YZVONE-5KN41K-L1B9VD
