Installing Software Licenses

Installing Software Licenses
Some features require a software license and are restricted only to a licensed user. To activate licensed
features, a license serial number must be purchased along with an authorization code from Alcatel-Lucent.
The authorization code can then be used to generate a license file.
To install the license file on the switch and to activate the licensed features, perform the following steps:
1 Log on to https://service.esd.alcatel-lucent.com/portal/page/portal/EService/LicenseGeneration
provide the serial number and MAC address of the switch along with the authorization code.
A license file, for example lmLicense.txt, is generated.
2 Save the generated (lmLicense.txt) file in the /flash directory (or any other directory) of the primary
CMM.
3 To install the license on the switch, use the
license key and reboot the switch. For example:
-> license apply file /flash/lmLicense.txt
4 To verify the installation, use the
5 To deactivate a license use the
-> license remove feature gig ni 1
6 To temporarly activate a license use the
-> license unlock feature gig ni 1
Note. For multiple entries of serial numbers, MAC addresses, and authorization codes, use a CSV
formatted file and upload the file on to the website. A single license file is generated for all the switches.
Activation or unlock of license can be performed for the first time using the configuration file. For any
subsequent unlocks the boot.cfg file must be removed and the switch must be rebooted.
Once the license is applied it is written to the EEPROM and the license file is no longer needed.
