Example

This example explains the procedure to upgrade the licenses in the license repository.

There are two Software Blade licenses in the input file:

One license does not match any license on a remote managed Security Gateway.
The other license matches an NGX-version license on a managed Security Gateway that has to be upgraded.

Workflow:

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
