The ACE demo license is valid for only 60 days. Four weeks before the license
expires, the ACE generates warning syslog messages once a day. During the final
week, a warning syslog message occurs once an hour. Before this period ends, you
must update the demo license with a permanent license. Otherwise, the ACE will
revert to its previous throughout performance, SSL TPS, or number of contexts.
If you replace the context demo license with a permanent license, you can
continue to use the configured user contexts on the ACE. However, if you allow a
context license to expire, the ACE automatically removes all user contexts from
the Admin running configuration and all configurations for the user contexts.
Before a context license expires, save the Admin running configuration and the
user context running configurations to a remote server.
To view the expiration of the demo license, use the show license usage command
in Exec mode from the Admin context.
After you copy the permanent license file to the ACE, you can install it. To replace
a demo license with a permanent license, use the license update disk0: command
in Exec mode from the Admin context. The syntax of this command is:
license update disk0:[path/]permanent_filename demo_filename
The keyword and arguments are:
[path/]permanent_filename—Filename for the permanent license file that
•
you copied onto the ACE.
demo_filename—Filename for the demo license file that the permanent
•
license file is replacing.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin# license update disk0:ACE-AP-VIRT-020.lic
ACE-AP-VIRT-020-DEMO.lic
