4.5. License Installation
Without a valid license installed, cOS Core will run in
demo mode
(demonstration mode) which
means that it will cease to function after two hours of operation. Restarting cOS Core will
re-enable cOS Core for another two hours. To remove this 2 hour restriction, a valid license must
be installed.
Licenses are files which are made available for download from the Clavister servers but before
they become available, the user must have registered themselves with Clavister and doing this is
described in
Chapter 2, Registering with Clavister
.
The NetWall 100 Series Uses a SECaaS License
When cOS Core runs on the NetWall 100 Series hardware it requires a subscription based
Security
as a Service
(SECaaS) license. The SECaaS license is managed in the same way as an older
non-SECaaS license but requires the following to be configured in cOS Core:
•
Internet Access.
•
A public DNS server.
SECaaS licenses require periodic access to Clavister license servers to check validity and for
automatic updates. If cOS Core cannot reach the license servers within a certain period of time
then throughput is reduced to a maximum limit of 1 Mbps.
Installation Methods
The following methods can be used for installing the first cOS Core license in the 100 Series unit:
•
Automatically through the Setup Wizard
As described in
Section 4.2, “Web Interface and Wizard Setup”
, when the wizard is used for
initially configuring Clavister hardware, the administrator can choose to install a license as
one of the wizard steps.
•
Automatically through the Web Interface
Go to Status > Maintenance > License and enter the customer's login credentials for the
Clavister website, then press Activate. The license is fetched automatically across the public
Internet and installed.
•
Automatically through the CLI
In the CLI, enter the command:
Device:/> license -activate -request -username=myname -password=mypass
The customer username and password login are included in the command and the license is
fetched automatically across the Internet. The login credentials are the same ones that are
used for Clavister website login. The
reconf
or
shutdown
command should be used to
complete installation.
•
Manually through the Web Interface or SCP
This method is the only choice when the 100 Series hardware does not have a connection to
the public Internet. The procedure consists of the following steps:
