Backing Up a License File

OL-11157-01
To safeguard your license files, we recommend that you back up your license files
to the ACE Flash disk as tar files. To back up license files in .tar format, use the
copy licenses command in Exec mode from the Admin context. The syntax for
this command is:
copy licenses disk0:[path/]filename.tar
The keyword and argument are:
• disk0:—Specifies that the backup license file is copied to the disk0: file
system.
• [path/]filename.tar—The destination filename for the backup licenses. The
destination filename must have a .tar file extension.
For example, enter:
host1/Admin# copy licenses disk0:mylicenses.tar
If you accidently remove or lose the license on the ACE, you can untar the backup
file and reinstall it. To untar the license, use the untar command in Exec mode.
The syntax for this command is:
untar disk0:[path/]filename.tar
The [path/]filename.tar argument is the filename of the .tar backup license file.
For example, to untar the mylicenses.tar file on disk0:, enter:
host1/Admin# untar disk0:mylicenses.tar
For information on installing the license, see the
License File" section.
