Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When the current license file on a device expires or feature speculations of a device need to be expanded, you can run the license active command to change and activate the license file.

In the port expansion scenario, the device cannot activate the license for the AP through the master. You need to run the upgrade download-package command to upload the license file from the master to the AP, and then run the license active command on the AP to activate the license file.

Prerequisites

Uploading the new license file to the IPU.

Configuration Impact

In the case of a license file that was never activated before, you can run the license active command to activate the license file.
In the case of the license file that is running in the system and needs to be upgraded, note the following situation: if the configuration of the new license file is lower than the current configuration, after the

license active command is run, the system prompts you to confirm whether to upgrade the license file. If you choose "No", the system does not perform the upgrade operation; if you choose "Yes", the system activates the license file and performs the upgrade operation.

If the configuration items of the new license file are lower than those of the current license file, check whether the configuration items required by services exist in the new license file. If not, apply for a correct license file and activate it. Otherwise, services may be interrupted due to lack of dependent license configuration items after the board or the device is restarted.

Follow-up Procedure

Before the device restart, the system records the license file that has been activated for the next startup. This ensures that the license file remains identical before and after the device restart.

Precautions

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

The extension of the license file must be .dat .xml or .zip. The license file must be saved in the root directory on the storage device.
If the specification of the running license file is higher than the license file to be activated (for example, a function has been authorized on the running license file, not the target license file, or the specification of a resource item is lower in the target license file), the system prompts you to confirm whether to activate the license file.
The system supports only the license file for a single device, not the license file for the network.

The license file for a single device enables some features to be implemented on a device; the license file for the network requires that a device obtain the permission of some features from a server.

Example

# Activate the license file named license.xml.

<HUAWEI> license active license.xml
Now activing the license....done.
