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. 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.
Detailed Steps
Examples
To install a license bundle for 2 Gbps bandwidth, 2 Gbps compression, 7500 TPS SSL, 20 virtual
contexts, and 200 app. accel. conns, enter:
host1/Admin# license install disk0:ACE-4710-02-K9.lic
Replacing a Demo License with a Permanent License
This section describes how replace an ACE demo license with a permanent license. If you installed a
demo license, four weeks before the license expires, the ACE generates warning syslog messages once
a day. During the final week, a warning syslog message occurs once an hour. Before this period ends,
you must update the demo license with a permanent license. Otherwise, the ACE will revert to its
previous bandwidth, SSL TPS, or number of contexts.
After you copy the permanent license file to the ACE (see the “Copying a License File to the ACE”
section), you can install it.
