Problem
Messages continue to indicate that keyless licensing is enabled, even after runnining "vxkeyless set NONE." WARNING V-365-1-1 may also be reported.
Cause
This behavior occurs if /etc/vx/licenses/lic/.keyless.diff is missing. This file is required to record changes to the vxkeyless mode.
Solution
Follow these steps to work around this issue, :
1. Back up the contents of /etc/vx/licenses/lic/. A procedure for this can be found here: How to remove keyless licensing and revert to permanent license keys on InfoScale products
2. Delete the *.vxlic files that are stored under /etc/vx/licenses/lic/.
3. Use vxlicinst to add the permanent keys. An example of using vxlicinst can be found here: How to remove keyless licensing and revert to permanent license keys on InfoScale products
4. Reinitialize the licenses. A procedure for this can be found here: How to remove keyless licensing and revert to permanent license keys on InfoScale products
Note: /etc/vx/licenses/lic/.keyless.diff can be recreated, if needed, by re-enabling keyless mode.
