On a Brocade switch I had the need recently to move the port on demand licence (POD) from one port to another on the same switch. The procedure to transfer a brocade licence is as follows:
In this example we move the licence from port 8 to 2:
1 Disable the port you no longer
portcfgpersistentdisable 8
2 Remove the licence from the port its not required on
licenseport -release 8
3 If the port you wish to use is disabled, enable it
portenable 2
That’s it job done
