Copying a License File to the ACE
When you receive the software license key e-mail from Cisco Systems, you must
copy the attached license file to a network server. Then use the
copy
command in
Exec mode from the Admin context to copy the file from the network server to
disk0: on the ACE. For detailed information on the copying files from a remote
server, see
Chapter 5, Managing the ACE Software
.
For example, the syntax of the
copy tftp
command is:
copy tftp:
[
//server
[
/path/
][
/filename
]]
disk0:
[
path
/]
filename
The arguments are:
•
[
//server
[
/path/
][
/filename
]]—The path to the network server. This path is
optional because the ACE prompts you for this information if you omit it.
•
disk0:
[
path
/]
filename
—Specifies that the file destination is the disk0:
directory of the current context and the filename. If you do not provide the
optional path, the ACE copies the file to the root directory on the disk0: file
system.
For example, to copy the ACE-AP-VIRT-020.lic license file from the license
directory on the track network server to the root directory on disk0:, enter:
host1/Admin#
copy tftp://track/license/ACE-AP-VIRT-020.lic disk0:
If the license is a demo or permanent license for a new or upgrade installation, see
the
“Installing a New or Upgrade License File”
section.
If the license is a permanent license replacing a demo license, see the
“Replacing
a Demo License with a Permanent License”
section.
