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. For example, enter:
host1/Admin# copy running-config startup-config
Step 10 Repeat Steps 8 and 9 until you retrieve the running configurations for all user contexts configured in the
Admin configuration.
Downgrading the ACE Software to a Release Prior to A4(2.0)
Because the bundle licenses in software version A4(2.x) and later are not compatible with licenses from
earlier releases, the number of virtual contexts that remain after the downgrade is five and all other
contexts are lost. Therefore, you must back up all your configured contexts prior to downgrading the
ACE software to a release earlier than A4(2.0). The ACE displays the following warning message during
the downgrade procedure:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!! WARNING: Currently there are 7 contexts configured on this appliance !!!!
!!!! running A4(2.x) or later software. If the box is reloaded with software !!!!
!!!! prior to A4(2.0) then it will result in limiting the virtual contexts !!!!
!!!! to 5 and hence resulting in losing the configurations and data !!!!
!!!! associated with the rest of the contexts. Please backup the user !!!!
!!!! context configurations before proceeding further with reload operation. !!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Continue ? [yes/no]: [no]
For more details, see the “Downgrading Your ACE Software in a Redundant Configuration” section in
the release note.
Backing Up an ACE License File

that you back up your license files (in .tar format) to the ACE Flash disk.
