in and then log in to the site. This will require registration on the site if this has not been
done already.
ii.
Go to Licenses > Register License.
iii.
Select the option Register by Service Tag and Hardware Serial Number.
iv.
Enter the
Serial Number
and
Service Tag
codes. For Clavister hardware products, these
codes are found on a label on the unit.
v.
Download a license from the license list to the computer's local disk.
vi.
The license file is uploaded to the firewall through the cOS Core Web Interface by going
to Status > Maintenance > License and pressing the Upload button to select the
license file. Following upload, cOS Core will install the file.
Alternatively, the license file can be uploaded using SCP. cOS Core automatically
recognizes an uploaded license file but it is then necessary to manually to perform a
reconfigure or reboot operation to complete installation.
Important: Restart is recommended after license installation
After installing a license, a restart of cOS Core is recommended. This will ensure that cOS
Core memory is correctly configured for the license parameters.
When installing a license through the Web Interface or when using the startup wizard,
the options to restart or reconfigure are presented to the administrator. With the CLI and
SCP, these options are not presented and restart must be initiated by the administrator.
For restarting via the Web Interface, go to
Status > Maintenance > Reset & Restart
.
With the CLI, use the command:
Device:/> shutdown -reboot
Installing Licenses Updates
Installing license updates can be done using one of the following methods:
•
Automatically, by creating a permanent link between the 100 Series and the associated
MyClavister
account on the Clavister website. Doing this is one of the last options in the setup
wizard. Alternatively, the link can be established later by going to the Status > Maintenance
> MyClavister in the Web Interface and entering the login credentials for the Clavister
website.
The link can also be created in the CLI with the following command:
Device:/> license –myclavister –username=myuser –password=mypass
Once the link is established, cOS Core will alert the administrator in the Web Interface when a
license update is available. The update process is then initiated by pressing the Update
button in the license page.
•
Manually, by logging into and downloading from the Clavister website and then uploading
manually to cOS Core.
