Licensing Your Product
To license your product and install the license file, you must:
Step 1 Log onto Cisco.com to get your license file.
If you are a registered user of Cisco.com, get your license file from: http://www.cisco.com/go/license
If you are not a registered user of Cisco.com, get your Cisco.com user ID from:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do. Once you have obtained your Cisco.com user ID, log on
to http://www.cisco.com/go/license to get your license file.
Logging in allows your Cisco user profile information to auto-populate many of the product registration
fields. Login is case sensitive. After successful registration, you will receive your license file
information through an e-mail.
Step 2 Register the LMS product with Cisco.com using the PAK to get your license file.
See Understanding Product Ordering Options and Product Authorization Key for details.After you have
registered your copy of LMS with Cisco.com, you will receive your license file.

a. Select the LMS application to install and when prompted:
– On Windows, select the first radio button (see Figure 3-1) and use the browse window to locate
the license file directory.
– On Solaris, select L for License File after you accept the Licensing Agreement and continue
installing the application.

If you want to convert an evaluation copy to a licensed copy or if want to apply the license after the LMS
installation is completed, perform the following:
a. After you install LMS 4.1, copy this new license file to the LMS server into a directory with read
permissions for the user name casuser in the user group casusers.

The License Administration page appears.
c. Click Update.
A file browser popup dialog box appears.

that you copied to the server in Step 2.

The updated licensing information appears in the License Information page. If you encounter errors,
repeat the steps to license your product.
