Enabling automatic license updates using the CLI

Prev Next

When the license update feature is enabled, license updates are automatic. You can also explicitly update licenses.

To verify and enable automatic license updates:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Verify the license update feature status:

    hostname (config) # show fenet license
    fenet License Update Service
    
    Licensing service: Administratively enabled
    
    Last time licensing service was contacted: 2014/08/11 10:50:04
    Last time licensing service was contacted successfully: 2014/08/11 10:50:04
    Last time keys from licensing service were applied: 2014/08/07 17:50:03
  3. If the license update feature service is disabled, enable it:

    hostname (config) # fenet license update enable
  4. Save your changes:

    hostname (config) # write memory

Note

See Synchronizing the system clock to DTI server time using the CLI for an option that prevents potential licensing issues if there is a time gap between the two clocks.
