Cisco Catalyst 3000, Administration Manual

Page: 124 / 496

Procedure
Step 1 In the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface, select Maintenance > Manage Licenses .
Step 2
See the bar chart to view the number of used and available licenses.
Backing Up and Restoring License Files
Because the license files exist in the database, these files are automatically backed up when you run a backup
in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface (
Maintenance > Backup ). If you have a valid
backup tar file and you restore your data to the same server, the license files automatically get restored to the
server (
Maintenance > Restore ). When you replace a server and restore the data to the server, as described
in the Replacing the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Server, on page 461 , Cisco Business Edition 3000 classifies
the licenses as unusable because the licenses are for the other server. After you restore the data on the replaced
server, you have 30 days to install the new licenses on the replaced server. (Your phones work as expected
during the 30-day grace period.)
Deleting License Files
Because licenses are specifically for the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server, you cannot delete a license file
that is installed on a Cisco Business Edition 3000 server.
Understanding the Error Messages for Licensing
The following table describes error messages that may display when you perform licensing-related tasks in
the Cisco Business Edition 3000 GUIs. Recommended actions also display in the following table.
Table 19: Error messages for licensing
Recommended action Error message
Verify that the name of the license file uses the .lic extension. Verify that
the contents of the file have not been modified. Upload a valid *.lic file.
The system does not allow you to install license files that use the same name,
and the system has identified that the license is already installed. Install a
different license file, if necessary. A license file with the same
name exists.
Determine how many licenses you need to install; then, obtain and install
the licenses. The system detected that you
have oversubscribed licenses
for <type of licenses>. Install
additional licenses.
