Summary: Removing a VxVM license

Thanks to Antony Pavlenko, David Jenkins and blade39 for their replies.

Basically, for VxVM 4.x I was on the right track. Delete (or move) the
license key file in /etc/vx/licenses/lic.

Afterwards, however, it's recommended to run "vxdctl license init" to get
vxconfigd to rescan the licenses, and then confirm that the permanent
licenses are still there with vxlicrep.

Subject: Removing a VxVM license
To: sunmanagers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Apparently we've had some issues with VxVM licenses in the past.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a procedure for removing one. The
OS is Solaris 8, and it's running VxVM 4.0. There is a valid permanent
license, as well as a temporary license key for another feature set. Letting
the license expire is not an option for reasons beyond my control.

Is it just a matter of deleting /etc/vx/licenses/lic/LICENSE_KEY.vxlic and
verifying that the permanent license is still valid with vxlicrep?
