Chapter 2 Managing ACE Software Licenses Managing ACE Appliance Software Licenses What to Do Next Copy the license file to the ACE (see the “Copying a License File to the ACE” section). Copying a License File to the ACE This section describes how to copy an ACE license file from a remote server to the ACE. For detailed information on copying files from a remote server, see Chapter 4, Managing the ACE Software.

Chapter 2 Managing ACE Software Licenses Managing ACE Appliance Software Licenses Restrictions This topic includes the following restrictions: • You must have the Admin role in the Admin context to install or upgrade the license file. • If you install a context demo license, make sure that you save the Admin running configuration and all user context running configurations to a remote server.
PAGE 6
Chapter 2 Managing ACE Software Licenses Managing ACE Appliance Software Licenses • If you replace the context demo license with a permanent license, you can continue to use the configured user contexts on the ACE. However, if you allow a context license to expire, the ACE automatically removes all user contexts from the Admin running configuration and all configurations for the user contexts.

Chapter 2 Managing ACE Software Licenses Managing ACE Appliance Software Licenses Step 2 Remove the license with the license uninstall command. For example, to remove the ACE30-MOD-04-K9.LIC license, enter: host1/Admin# license uninstall disk0:ACE-4710-01-K9.lic The ACE displays the following messages and prompt: Clearing license ACE30-MOD-04-K9.lic: SERVER this_host ANY VENDOR cisco INCREMENT ACE30-MOD-04-K9.lic cisco 1.

Chapter 2 Managing ACE Software Licenses Managing ACE Appliance Software Licenses Step 8 Access the user context, and copy its running configurations from the remote server. For example, to copy the C1 user context running configuration from the TFTP server, access the C1 context and enter: host1/C1# tftp://192.168.1.2/R-CONFIG-C1 copy running-config Step 9 Copy the user context running configuration to the startup-configuration file.
