Transferring SX OS License to another console
This guide maybe useless but do-able
Assumption :
Switch A has an SX OS License, it doesnt matter if the console is healthy or not, we just need its eMMC module
Switch B is a healthy and working console
How it work
1. Backup the Switch A NAND to the micro sd card if possible, but if you got a bad or defective unit, then remove the eMMC module only along with its SX OS license.dat
2. Backup the Switch B NAND to the micro sd card, and remove the eMMC module
3. Install the Switch A eMMC module to Switch B, then restore the Switch B NAND into it
4. Copy or use SX OS license.dat from Switch A into Switch B
5. Use the latest SX OS version , e.g 2.7.1 beta, and boot the SX OS
6. Done
So each SX OS license is tied to a specific eMMC module (the eMMC chip), because each eMMC chip has a unique serial number
That's it..
