If a G250 or G350 Media Gateway is providing the serial number, access the media gateway's

Note:
close proximity to the LSP.
Installing and verifying the license on the new LSP
On the S8500 LSP, install a new license file with the appropriate settings for an LSP server.
Complete the following steps to install the license and authentication files:
1. On the Maintenance Web Interface, under Security, click License File.
2. Select Install the license I previously downloaded and click Submit to install the
license file.
The system gives you a warning that the license requires a restart. Do not restart the server
at this time.
3. Under Security, click Authentication File.
4. Click Install the Authentication file I previously downloaded and click Install.
The system tells you the authentication is installed successfully.
5. Verify that the S8500 Media Server you are converting is licensed as an LSP.
Note:
When you access the SAT screen prior to doing a reset, the screen may indicate
Note:
"License mode not available." This is normal and will be resolved after you
perform the reset later.
a. Open a SAT session on the LSP and enter display system-parameters
customer-options.
b. On the system-parameters customer-options form, check that the Local Survivable
Processor field is set to y and check that the Processor Ethernet field is set to y.
