You can use the vxlicrep program to display information about the licenses on a system.
To check licensing information
  1. Navigate to the /sbin folder containing the vxlicrep program and enter:
    \# vxlicrep
    1. Review the following output to determine the following information:
      • The license key
      • The type of license
        Note: Note that theVXKEYLESSparameter is displayed in the output of a keyless license and that it is set toENABLED.
      • The product for which it applies
