Step 1 Choose Management > Software Activation > Commands to open the License Commands page.
Step 2 From the Action drop-down list, choose Install License. The Install License from a File section appears.
Step 3 In the File Name to Install text box, enter the path to the license (*.lic) on the TFTP server.
Step 4 Click Install License. A message appears to show whether the license was installed successfully. If the installation fails,
the message provides the reason for the failure, such as the license is an existing license, the path was not found, the
license does not belong to this device, you do not have correct permissions for the license, and so on.
Step 5 If the end-user license agreement (EULA) acceptance dialog box appears, read the agreement and click Accept to accept
the terms of the agreement.
Typically, you are prompted to accept the EULA for evaluation, extension, and rehost licenses. The EULA is
also required for permanent licenses, but it is accepted during license generation.
Note
Step 6 Save a backup copy of all installed licenses as follows:
a) From the Action drop-down list, choose Save License.
b) In the File Name to Save text box, enter the path on the TFTP server where you want the licenses to be saved.
You cannot save evaluation
licenses.
Note
c) Click Save Licenses.
Step 7 Reboot the controller.
We recommend that you reset the system to ensure that the newly installed license file is saved in the
WLC.
