Installing your license

Online license

The standard online license requires DNS and internet access and is configured as follows, using the serial number provided with the software delivery:

vrouter> edit running
vrouter running config# system license online serial <serial>
vrouter running config# commit
vrouter running config# exit
vrouter>

Note

It is required to exit edit mode to take license activation into account.

Note

If your configuration relies on a feature enabled by license (BGP, IPsec) to reach the license key server and you have not obtained a valid license yet, you are facing a catch-22 issue. You’ll need to perform a simple Day-1 configuration using static routing to install your license key first, and then you’ll be able to move forward with a more complex configuration.

Offline license

In some cases, an offline license file can be provided in addition to your serial number. It must be imported before entering the serial number, as follows:

vrouter> cmd license file import url http://path/to/file serial <serial>
vrouter> edit running
vrouter running config# system license offline serial <serial>
vrouter running config# commit
vrouter running config# exit
vrouter>

Note

It is required to exit edit mode to take license activation into account.

Note

The import command accepts other url types, like ftp and http. The file contents can be directly pasted on the console too. Run cmd license file import <?> for a complete list.
