On-Site Preparation for the Installation
108 Installation and Upgrades for G700 and S8300
December 2003
On-Site Preparation for the Installation
Perform these tasks before starting the software installation on the S8300.

Install the New License File, If Necessary

For new installations, you typically need to load a licences file.
NOTE:
If the S8300 is already set up for remote access, Avaya services personnel can copy new
license and authentication files directly into the FTP directory on the server. Avaya
personnel will notify you when the new files are in place as agreed (for example, by
telephone or E-mail). After they are loaded into the FTP directory, install them using the
License File and Authentication File screens from the S8300 main menu web-page.
NOTE:
Before an upload or download, be sure the S8300 FTP directory (/var/home/ftp/pub)
contains no files with a .pwd or .lic extension. Only one of these files can exist in a
directory. If one exists, move, rename, or delete it.
If Necessary, Rename Old License and
Authentication Files from S8300 FTP
Directory
Before an upload or download, be sure the S8300 FTP directory (/var/home/ftp/pub) contains no files
with a .pwd or .lic extension. Only one of these files can exist in a directory. If one exists, move, rename,
or delete it.
1Log in to a telnet session on the S8300.
2At the command line, type cd /var/home/ftp/pub and press Enter.
3Type ls -l and press Enter.
The system displays a list of files.
4Check the list of files to see if any files with .lic or .pwd suffixes are in the directory.
5If any .lic or .pwd files exist, rename them. For example, type mv <filename>.lic <filename>
.lic.old or mv <filename>.pwd <filename> .pwd.old and press Enter.
6Leave the telnet session open for a later task.
Load License File (from Your Laptop)
Use this procedure to transfer the license and password files from the CD or hard drive on your laptop to
the S8300 hard drive.
