Installing the Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 License File

You must have a license file in a directory on the Cisco AR machine before you attempt to install Cisco AR software. After purchasing Cisco AR, you will receive a license file in an e-mail attachment. Save or copy this license file to a directory on the Cisco AR workstation. 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 to the base installation directory you specify when you install the software 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.
