Managing feature license keys

Several features of the firmware require a system specific license key to be installed to enable the feature.

This section describes how to install the feature license keys on your equipment. Because license keys comprise very long strings of characters, the standard way of installing them is to download the file containing the license keys from a TFTP server to the equipment. Therefore, a TFTP server must be present in the IP network where you can store the license keys file obtained from the distributor. If no TFTP server is available, the license key can also be manually typed (or copied and pasted) in a console or Telnet window. Both procedures are described below.
