Install OS10 license

If OS10 is factory-loaded on your switch, you do not need to install an OS10 license. If you download OS10 on a trial basis, OS10 comes

with a 120-day trial license. To continue with uninterrupted use, purchase and install a perpetual license to avoid the OS10 device rebooting

every 72 hours.

After you install OS10 and log in, install the license to run OS10 beyond the trial license period. For more information, see Download OS10

image and license. The OS10 license is installed in the /mnt/license directory.

1. Download the License.zip file from DDL (see Download OS10 image and license).

2. Open the zip file and locate the license file in the Dell folder. Copy the license file to a local or remote workstation.

3. Install the license file from the workstation in EXEC mode.

license install {ftp: | http: | localfs: | scp: | sftp: | tftp: | usb:} filepath/filename

• ftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath — Copy from a remote FTP server

• http://hostip/filepath — Copy from a remote HTTP server

• http://hostip — Send request to a remote HTTP server.

• localfs://filepath — Install from a local file directory.

• scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath — Copy from a remote SCP server.

• sftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath — Copy from a remote SFTP server.

• tftp://hostip/filepath — Copy from a remote TFTP server.

• usb://filepath — Install from a file directory on a storage device that is connected to the USB storage port on the switch.

• filepath/filename — Enter the directory path where the license file is stored.
