Hello CarlosMST,

Greetings! 

Upgrading licenses on the Ruckus ICX 7150

To upgrade from a 2X10G license to a 8x10GR license, perform the following steps as shown in the example below.

1. Place a purchase order with Brocade order management.
2. Enter the show version command to verify that the correct license is purchased. The current license field displays the license you have currently installed in the device.

   device# show version
   =============================================================
   UNIT 1: SL 1: ICX7150-24P-2X10G 24-port Management Module
   Serial #:CYT3346K035
   Current License: 2X10G  
   P-ASIC 0: type B548, rev 01 Chip BCM56548_A0
   ===========================================================

3. Enter the license install perpetual command.

   device# license install perpetual 1 8x10gr

   The above command installs a perpetual 8x10GR license on unit 1.

   NOTE

   Every Ruckus ICX 7150 includes 60 day trial licenses for all licensable features. Separate trial licenses are not available.

4. Enter y to accept the Brocade End User License Agreement (EULA), or n to cancel.

   By selecting 'y' you have read and accept the Brocade End USER License Agreement found at the following URL [http://www.brocade.com/en/legal/hardware-terms-eulas/network-operating-system-fastiron-netiron-serveriron-ip-slx-os-platforms.html].
   Continue?(enter 'y' to continue, 'n' to cancel): y

5. Enter the show version command to verify that the license is installed correctly. The current license field displays the license you have currently installed in the device.

   device# show version
   =============================================================
   UNIT 1: SL 1: ICX7150-24P-2X10G 24-port Management Module
   Serial #:CYT3346K035
   Current License: 4X10GR  
   P-ASIC 0: type B548, rev 01 Chip BCM56548_A0
   =============================================================

   NOTE

   If you attempt to update a license that is already installed on the device, an error message is displayed on the CLI. The following is an example of the error message.

   device# update-license perpetual 1 2x10g
   License package 2x10g is already installed.
   device#

Hi CarlosMST, 

Adding to the above, the procedure shared shows the details of the steps involved. 
With those steps, you can set up and activate the license temporarily for the trial period [~45 days].
To set it permanently, you would need to procure the license; it would be a license file if the device is on a pre-8080xx code base. post-8080xx code base, you would need to set a license serial number to the selected license type .

However, with respect to the cost of the licenses, the pre-sales team would be able to assist better with that. 


Do let us know if the same helps
