Perform the following operations to install a license file for a CSS:

  1. Apply for a license, which is bound to the ESN of a physical device.
    1. Run the display license esn command to obtain the ESNs of two member switches in the CSS.
    2. Apply for one license using the two ESNs.

      For details about how to apply for a license, see S Series Switch License Use Guide.

    How to install a license file for a CSS varies. For details,see the following table.

  3. Applying for and Loading a License for Two Devices Before a CSS Is Set UpV200R009 and Later VersionsVersions Earlier Than V200R009
    Both devices do not apply for and install a license file.Apply for a license using the ESNs of the two devices.The license must contain the ESNs of the two devices. Therefore, you must apply for a new license using the ESNs of the two devices.
    Both devices have applied for a license but do not have a license loaded.
    • If the control items of the two license files are the same, split the CSS, load the two standalone devices with their respective licenses, and then set up a CSS of the two devices again. Alternatively, apply for a license that contains the ESNs of the two devices through the ESN change process.
    • If the control items of the two license files are different, apply for a license that contains the ESNs of the two devices through the ESN change process.
    Only one device has a license file installed.Apply for a license that contains the ESNs of the two devices through the ESN change process.
    The two devices each have a license file installed.
    • If the control items of the two license files are the same, you do not need to apply for a new license. The existing licenses can still be used after the two devices set up a CSS.
    • If the control items of the two license files are different, apply for a license that contains the ESNs of the two devices through the ESN change process.
  4. Upload the obtained license to the system active MPU.
  5. Run the license active command to activate the license. The standby switch will synchronize with this license.
  6. After the license file is installed successfully, you can run the display license command to check license file information.

After the CSS splits, the license is still valid on the two member switches.

The license needs to be activated for the first time.

You can directly run this command to activate a license.

The current license file needs to be updated.

If the specifications of the new license file are lower than those of the current license file, the system displays a message asking you whether to continue. If you choose No, the system retains the current license file. If you choose Yes, the master MPU activates the current license file and the system uses the new license file.
