Install License screen
Use the Install screen to install a new license file on the Avaya media
server, or to undo up to three previous license installations.
License file operation
The license installation options are:
- Install new license. A new license file (with .lic
extension) is moved from the /var/home/ftp subdirectory on the server
hard disk and installed on the system. The existing license file, if present,
is saved for a possible "undo" operation. If
the installation fails, the old license file remains in the /var/home/ftp
subdirectory for debugging purposes.
- Undo last install.
Whenever a new license is installed, the existing license file (if any)
is saved. Up to 4 licenses (1 current and 3 previous licenses) can exist
on one system at a time.
- If a license file is installed and you want to return
to the previous license, select the "undo" option. This option
deletes the current license file,
and reinstalls the license file that was previously in use. Use this option
if the new license file is not working correctly.
- Up to three Undo operations can be carried out sequentially.
You cannot undo the installation of the only remaining license file. The
Undo operation operates backwards; you cannot undo an Undo because the
current license is erased when the previous license is installed.
License file installation
To install a new license file:
- In the main menu of the web administration interface
under Security, click Install License.
- The Install License screen appears. Choose an activity.
- Select Undo last
install to delete the license file in use, and place the previously
installed license in service.
|
|
The three most recent license files are retained, so
this operation can be performed up to three times in a row. You can not
undo the installation of the only remaining license file. |
- When you select the activity, click Install
License.
- The screen displays whether or not the file was installed
successfully.
Solving license

The Install License screen may display the following errors:
Invalid version on install file <filename>. The license file named <filename>
is corrupted (damaged) or has a version mismatch. To solve this:

in Put new files
on the server.
- Access the Install License screen again, and select
the Install new license option.
Invalid License file error nnn.

in Put new files
on the server.

the Install new license option.

- Transfer a new license file to the server as described
in Put new files

Multiple or no .lic files in directory /var/home/ftp. To solve this:
- Telnet into the server and navigate to the /var/home/ftp
directory. Search for license (.lic) files.
- If no .lic file is present, copy a current license
file into this directory as described in Put
new files on the server.
- If multiple license files are present, delete those
that are not needed, and keep only the one that is valid (usually the
newest one).
- Access the Install License screen again, and select
the Install new license option.
