6.4. Viewing the License¶

You can use the vzlicview tool to view the information on the installed license and find out its current status. For example:

# vzlicview
Searching for installed licenses...
VZSRV
        owner_name="Autogenerated Trial Licenses"
        status="ACTIVE"
        version=7.0
        owner_id=70295522.10134133
        hwid="3D6F.FFB2.1CD5.1E47.1325.BBE0.6C66.ACF5"
        serial="BF3D.E943.18C5.5555.5D10.99D9.0310.DFA0"
        expiration="07/08/2016 03:00:00"
        start_date="06/07/2016 03:00:00"
        issue_date="06/08/2016 16:27:11"
        graceperiod=259200 (259200)
        key_number="PSBM.10134133.0001"
        cpu_total=8 (1)
        ct_total="unlimited" (0)
        architecture="x86"
        architecture="x86_64"
        platform="Linux"
        product="PSBM"
        nr_vms="unlimited" (2)
        subscription="70295522:dd482d1a-5268-4980-ae06-2a288a4fb7ab"

You can also view contents of license files with the vzlicview -f command. The output does not differ from that in the example above.

The license parameters are described in the following table.

version	The version of Virtuozzo Hybrid Server for which the license was issued.
owner_id	The ID of the license owner.
hwid	Server hardware identifier.
serial	License serial number. In particular, used to identify license files in `/etc/vz/licenses/`.
expiration	License expiration date, if the license is time-limited.

6.4.1. License Statuses¶

When viewing information on your licenses, pay special attention to the license status that can be one of the following:

Status	Description
ACTIVE	The installed license is valid and active.
VALID	The license is valid and can be installed.
EXPIRED	The license has expired. If an installed license expires, running virtual environments continue to run. Newly started VEs, however, are suspended after 10 minutes. If they cannot be suspended, they are stopped gracefully. If this cannot be done, they are stopped forcefully. If the node is rebooted or if the license daemon is restarted, all VEs are treated as new and suspended (stopped) after 10 minutes.
GRACED	The license is installed on the server but is currently on the grace period because it has expired or the number of running virtual machines and containers exceeds the limit defined by the license.
INVALID	The license is invalid (e.g., because of server architecture mismatch) or corrupt.
