Cisco Systems manual Installing Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licenses, Sample License File

Chapter 1 Overview

Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licensing

If you receive a Software License Claim Certificate, you can get your Cisco AR license file at one of the two following URLs:

•www.cisco.com/go/license

Use this site if you are a registered user of Cisco Connection Online.

•www.cisco.com/go/license/public

Use this site if you are not a registered user of Cisco Connection Online.

Within one hour of registration at either of the above web sites, you will receive your license key file and installation instructions in e-mail.

Installing Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licenses

You must have a license in a directory on the Cisco AR machine before you attempt to install Cisco AR software. If you have not installed the Cisco AR license file before beginning the software installation, the installation process will fail.

You can store the Cisco AR license file in any directory on the Cisco AR machine. During the installation process, you will be asked the location of the license file, and the installation process will copy the license file to the /opt/CSCOar/license directory, or $INSTALL/license if you are not using the default installation location.

The license file might have the name ciscoar.lic, but it can be any filename with the suffix .lic. To install the Cisco AR license file, you can copy and paste the text into a file, or you can simply save the file you receive in e-mail to an accessible directory.

Adding Additional Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licenses

If you add additional licenses, you can open the file in /opt/CSCOar/license and add additional lines to the license file, or you can create an additional license file to hold the new lines. If you add a new file, remember to give it a .lic suffix. You must restart the Cisco AR server for the new license to take effect. To restart the Cisco AR server, enter the following on the server command line:

/opt/CSCOar/bin/arserver restart
