Upload the obtained license to the system active MPU.
Run the license active command to activate the license. The standby switch will synchronize with this license.
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.

1.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.

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.

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.
