Description

This command allows you to install, delete, and manage software licenses on Mobility Conductor. ArubaOS supports a centralized licensing architecture, which allows a group of managed devices to share a pool of licenses. A primary and backup Mobility Conductor can share a single set of licenses, eliminating the need for a redundant license set on the backup server. Managed devices maintain information sent from the Mobility Conductor, even if the managed device and the Mobility Conductor can no longer communicate.

A Mobility Conductor uses licensing pools to distribute licenses to a large number of managed devices across geographic locations. By default, all managed devices associated to a Mobility Conductor share a single global pool of all the sharable licenses added to that Mobility Conductor. However, ArubaOS also allows you to create additional licensing pools at a configuration node, allowing a groups of managed devices at or below that configuration level to share licenses among themselves, but not with other groups. For information on creating license pools using the Mobility Conductor CLI, see license-pool-profile.

New licenses and license pools can only be added through the Mobility Conductor WebUI. Licenses cannot be added directly to a managed devices. If a controller had previously installed sharable licenses before it was added to a Mobility Conductor as a managed devices, those licenses are no longer usable on that device. Those license keys must be regenerated and assigned to the managed device or licensing pool using the Mobility Conductor WebUI.

For complete information on the centralized licensing feature, refer to the ArubaMobility ConductorLicensing Guide.

Parameter	Description
add <key>	Installs the software license key in Mobility Conductor. The key is normally sent to you via email.
asp	Install Aruba Support Portal license This parameter is available in enable mode.
allocate-lic	Allocate licenses.
get-allocated-lic	Retrieves preallocated license keys from Aruba Support Portal.
get-capacity-lic	Get 9240 capacity license from Aruba Support Portal.
get-md-pefv-lic	Get MD PEFV license from Aruba Support Portal.
register-order	Register license order with Aruba Support Portal.
export	Exports the license database on Mobility Conductor to the specified file in flash.
import	Replaces the license database on Mobility Conductor with the specified file in flash. The system serial numbers referenced in the imported file must match the numbers on the Mobility Conductor.
remote remote-ip-addr <ip-addr> add <key>	Use this command to associate a non-sharable license installed on the Mobility Conductor with the managed device for which that license key was generated. The <ip-addr> parameter is the IP address of the managed device, and <key> is the license key for the non-sharable license.
report	Saves a license report to the specified file in flash.
server-ip <ip-addr> <ipv6-addr>	Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the licensing server on a standalone controller or a Mobility Conductor to configure that controller as a licensing client. This command must be configured from the Mobility Conductor configuration node. NOTE: If there is an IPv4 address already configured on the controller, you must remove the IPv4 address before configuring the IPv6 address, and vice versa. If only IPv4 address is configured on the controller, it can only configure IPv4 license server IP address, and not IPv6 license server IP address.

Examples

From any configuration node , issue the command license add <key>.
