Installing a license

Use the following procedures to install licenses on a SLX-OS device.

Install the license on the device using one of the following commands:

Enter the license add [FTP-URL ftpPath | SCP-URL scpPath] command. This command adds licenses from an XML-tagged license file.

device# license add SCP-URL scp://fvt:mypassword@10.70.5.58//users/home40/"pray4green/
20141113164801170PORT_UPGRADE.xml

For license change to take effect, it may be necessary to enable the ports...

Enter the license add licstr command followed by the license key. The license key is printed between the XML start <licKey> and end </licKey> tags in the license file. Be sure to copy the entire string, including spaces and non-alphanumeric characters. If the license key includes spaces, you must enclose the entire string in double quotation marks. Repeat this command for each software license key found in the license file.
```
device# license add SCP-URL scp://fvt:mypassword@10.70.5.58//users/home40/"pray4green/

```

Verify that you added the license by entering the show license command. The command lists all licensed features currently installed on the device. If the feature is not listed, enter the license add licstr command again.

Depending on the license type, you may be prompted to reload the device or to disable and re-enable the chassis or specific ports. The following table indicates the minimal steps you may need to take to make the installed features fully functional after the license add operation is complete. Take the appropriate action as indicated by the command output.
