Use the copy source-url license_file_name license-keycommand to copy the license key to your sensor. The following options apply:

•source-url—The location of the source file to be copied. It can be a URL or keyword.

•destination-url—The location of the destination file to be copied. It can be a URL or a keyword.

•license-key—The subscription license file.

•license_file_name—The name of the license file you receive.

The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file. Here are the valid types:

•ftp:—Source URL for an FTP network server. The syntax for this prefix is: ftp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename ftp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename

Note You are prompted for a password.

•scp:—Source URL for the SCP network server. The syntax for this prefix is: scp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename scp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename

Note You are prompted for a password. You must add the remote host to the SSH known hosts list.

•http:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is: http://[[username@]location][/directory]/filename

Note The directory specification should be an absolute path to the desired file.

•https:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is: https://[[username@]location][/directory]/filename

The directory specification should be an absolute path to the desired file. The remote host must be a TLS trusted host.Installing the License Key

To install the license key, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to Cisco.com.

Step 2 Apply for the license key at this URL: www.cisco.com/go/license.
