Installing and Configuring Licenses
Step 3 In the File Name to Install text box, enter the path to the license (*.lic) on the TFTP server.
Step 4 Click Install License. A message appears to show whether the license was installed successfully. If the
installation fails, the message provides the reason for the failure, such as the license is an existing
license, the path was not found, the license does not belong to this device, you do not have correct
permissions for the license, and so on.
Step 5 If the end-user license agreement (EULA) acceptance dialog box appears, read the agreement and click
Accept to accept the terms of the agreement.
Note Typically, you are prompted to accept the EULA for evaluation, extension, and rehost licenses.
The EULA is also required for permanent licenses, but it is accepted during license generation.
Step 6 Save a backup copy of all installed licenses as follows:
a. From the Action drop-down list, choose Save License.
b. In the File Name to Save text box, enter the path on the TFTP server where you want the licenses to
be saved.
Note You cannot save evaluation licenses.
c. Click Save Licenses.
Step 7 Reboot the controller.
Step 8 Follow the instructions in the “Viewing Licenses” section on page 4-9 to see the status of the license that
you installed.
Step 9 If the desired license is not being used by the controller, follow the instructions in the “Activating an
AP-Count Evaluation License” section on page 4-14 or the “Activating an AP-Count Evaluation
License” section on page 4-14 to change the license that is used by the controller.
Using the CLI to Install a License
To install a license on the controller using the controller CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Install a license on the controller by entering this command:
license install url
where url is tftp://server_ip/path/filename.
Note To remove a license from the controller, enter the license clear license_name command. For
example, you might want to delete an expired evaluation license or any unused license. You
cannot delete unexpired evaluation licenses, the permanent base image license, or licenses that
are in use by the controller.
Step 2 If you are prompted to accept the end-user license agreement (EULA), read and accept the terms of the
agreement.
