license installed before.
2. Automatically through the Web Interface
Go to Status > Maintenance > License and enter the customer username and password,
then press Activate. The license is fetched automatically across the public Internet and
installed.
This option is also only available once and that is when installing a license in a Clavister
hardware product for the first time.
3. Automatically through the CLI
In the CLI, enter the command:
Device:/> license -activate -request -username=myname -password=mypass
The customer username and password is included in the command with the license fetched
automatically across the public Internet. It is then necessary to manually enter the reconf or
shutdown command to complete installation.
This option is also only available once and that is when installing a license in a Clavister
hardware product for the first time.
Important: A reboot is recommended after installing a license
Some license changes, such as increasing the number of allowed VPN tunnels, change
memory requirements and will not take effect until after cOS Core is rebooted.
Rebooting will disrupt traffic flows but is recommended in order that all license
parameters become active. If only a reconfiguration operation is performed, not all
license parameters may come into effect although this does not disrupt traffic.
When installing a license through the Web Interface or when using the startup wizard,
the option to reboot or reconfigure are presented to the administrator. With the CLI and
SCP, these options are not presented and reboot must be initiated by the administrator.
For rebooting via the Web Interface, go to Status > Maintenance > Reset & Restore.
With the CLI, use the command:
Device:/> shutdown -reboot
License Installation with the Setup Wizard
When cOS Core is started on a Clavister hardware product for the first time, a Setup Wizard runs
that leads the administrator through a number of steps to simplify such tasks as enabling
Internet access.
The last few optional setup wizard steps allow the automatic retrieval across the Internet of a
license for the hardware and requires only that the customer username and password is entered.
If these setup wizard steps are skipped, a license can be installed later as a separate operation
using any of the methods described above.
The setup wizard is discussed further in the separate Getting Starting Guide for each hardware
product.
