Example

This example explains the procedure to upgrade the licenses in the license repository. There are two Software Blade licenses in the file. One does not match any license on a remote Security Gateway, the other matches a version NGX license on a Security Gateway that has to be upgraded.

• Upgrade the Security Management Server to the latest version.

  Ensure that there is connectivity between the Security Management Server and the Security Gateways with the previous product versions.

• Import all licenses into the license repository. This can also be done after upgrading the products on the remote Security Gateways.
• Run this command:

  cplic get -all

  Example:

  [Expert@MyMGMT]# cplic get -all Getting licenses from all modules ... MyGW: Retrieved 1 licenses

• To see all the licenses in the repository, run this command:

  cplic db_print -all -a

  Example:

  [Expert@MyMGMT]# cplic db_print -all -a Retrieving license information from database ...   The following licenses appear in the database: ================================================== Host Expiration Features 192.0.2.11 Never CPFW-FIG-25-53 CK49C3A3CC7121 golda 192.0.2.11 26Nov2017 CPSB-SWB CPSB-ADNC-M CK0123456789ab count

• In the User Center, view the licenses for the products that were upgraded from version NGX to a Software Blades license. You can also create new upgraded licenses.
• Download a file containing the upgraded licenses. Only download licenses for the products that were upgraded from version NGX to Software Blades.
• If you did not import the version NGX licenses into the repository, import the version NGX licenses now. Use the command cplic get -all
• Run the license upgrade command: cplic upgrade –l <inputfile>
  • The licenses in the downloaded license file and in the license repository are compared.
  • If the certificate keys and features match, the old licenses in the repository and in the remote Security Gateways are updated with the new licenses.
  • A report of the results of the license upgrade is printed.

Note - This is a remote licensing command, which affects remote Security Gateways. It is executed on the Security Management Server.
