Feature license files
After you obtain the license file to enable Premier License features, you must install the license file
on the system to unlock the associated licensed features. You must load a license file on the
internal flash of the device.
License installation using ACLI
Install and manage a license file for the switch by using the Avaya command line interface (ACLI).
Installing a license file
Before you begin
You must enable the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
server depending on which protocol you use to download the license file to the device.
Ensure that you have the correct license file with the base MAC address of the switch on which
you need to install the license. Otherwise, the system does not unblock the licensed features.
About this task
Install a license file on the switch to enable licensed features.
Note:
You can enable FTP or TFTP in the boot config flags and then initiate an FTP or a TFTP
session from your workstation to put the file on the server running on the switch.
Procedure
1. From a remote station, or PC, use FTP or TFTP to download the license file to the device,
and store the license file in the /intflash directory.
2. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
3. To load the license file, execute the following command:
load-license
Important:
If the loading fails, or if the switch restarts and cannot locate a license file in the specified
location, the switch cannot unlock the licensed features and reverts to base functionality.
