Licensing Your Product

sftp>put FILE_NAME
• SCP command
Ensure that the file to be transfered is available in the SCP server.
scp [[user@]from-host:]source-file [[user@]to-host:][destination-file]
Note Ensure that you provide the appropriate path to the navigate to the folder where the file is
located.
Step 4 Change the owner and group name of the transferred file by using the below command:
chown casuser:casusers FILE_NAME
Evaluation Mode
If the user installing LMS 4.1 is not authorized to obtain the license on behalf of the administrator, the
product can be successfully installed for a period of time using an evaluation license.
If you have received the LMS as an evaluation copy, you need not register the product during the 90-day
evaluation period.
The installation process for an evaluation copy is the same as that of a purchased product, except that
you are prompted to select the Evaluation Only option from the Licensing Information page (see
Figure 3-1).
If you choose to run LMS in the evaluation mode, it is valid for only 90 days and does not support any
upgrades and allows support for only 100 devices. It stops functioning after 90 days. The evaluation
period cannot be extended. The product will not work until you provide a valid license file.
If you have not purchased the product, the LMS evaluation server can be reactivated by purchasing LMS
from your authorized Cisco reseller and you can register the product. For details, see Installing the
License File.
Note You can download the LMS 4.1 Evaluation software from http://www.cisco.com/go/nmsevals. You must
be a registered user of Cisco.com to download the software.
LMS 50 Devices Restricted License
If you apply LMS 50 Devices Restricted license on a LMS server which has an evaluation license or any
other restricted device license types installed, the LMS Server allows you to manage a maximum of 50
devices only. The remaining devices would be moved to suspended state automatically.
In this scenario, there are possibilities that the devices that are supposed to be in the managed state might
be moved to suspended state. On the other hand, some devices that are not required to be managed might
be in managed state.
Note Devices are moved to suspended state only if you manage more than 50 devices in the LMS Server.
Otherwise there is no change in the device management.
