Rolling Back a License

Context

If an incorrect ESN is bound during the license application stage and records about binding a correct ESN to the license exist on the ESDP system, you need to change the status of the license to which an incorrect ESN is bound from active to inactive.

Channel partners and final users do not have the permission for license rollback without a revocation code. If needed, contact Huawei technical support personnel. This section describes only procedures for rolling back a license with a revocation code.

You can run the display license revoke-ticket command in any view to obtain the license revocation code.

Procedure

Roll back a license permanently.
