A.2.2 Activating a license on the controller

Using your license key, you must now activate a license on the controller, completing the license registration and activation process.

To activate a license on the controller:

1.If your previous cURL session has closed or timed out, re–enter the authentication command to obtain a new token. See Section “Authentication manager” (page 27).

2.Use this command to activate the license on the controller.

curl [options] -H "X-Auth-Token:<token>" \ -d <license_key> \ https://<controller_ip>:8443/sdn/v2.0/licenses

•Replace <token> with the token you obtained using the authentication command.

•Replace <license_key> with the key obtained in “Registering your license and obtaining a license key”. You can view the key by logging on to the My Network portal and selecting My Licenses, as shown in Figure 33.

•Replacec<controller_id> with your controller IP address.

NOTE: If you are installing a High Availability license, enter the IP address of the lead controller.

The installed license information appears in JSON format, as shown below.
