Copying Licenses
To protect your license files, we recommend that you back up your license files to
the ACE Flash memory as tar files. To create a backup license for the ACE
licenses in .tar format and copy it to the disk0: file system, use the
copy licenses
command in Exec mode.
The syntax of this command is:
copy licenses disk0:[
path
/]
filename
.tar
The keyword and argument are:
•
disk0:
—Specifies that the backup license file is copied to the disk0: file
system.
•
[
path/
]
filename
.tar
—Destination filename for the backup licenses. The
destination filename must have a .tar file extension. If you do not provide the
optional path, the ACE copies the file to the root directory on the disk0: file
system.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin#
copy licenses disk0:mylicenses.tar
If you accidently remove or lose the license on the ACE, you can untar the backup
file and reinstall it. To untar the backup license, use the
untar
command in Exec
mode. The syntax for this command is:
untar disk0:
[
path
/]
filename
.tar
The
filename
.tar
is the filename of the .tar backup license file.
For example, to untar the mylicense.tar file on disk0, enter:
host1/Admin#
untar disk0:mylicenses.tar
Copying a Packet Capture Buffer
To copy an existing packet capture buffer to the disk0: file system, use the
copy
capture
command in Exec mode.
The syntax for the command is:
copy
capture
capture_name
disk0:
[
path
/]
destination_name
