▪ License is created for a specific network

NE element, based on the hardware ID that never
changes (e.g. shelf serial number)
NE ▪ Customers need to create a BIN file in the
ADVA License Portal for each network element
NE
▪ It should only be used for small installations,
NE typically not more than 10 network elements
• Node-locked approach is not supported by
ENC

Create node-locked device in license portal
Do not flag (node locked)
=string
Enter device-id (UUID) of the device

(first shelf in case of modular device)
UUID = Universally Unique ID

FSP 3000 C - license file activation (CLI)
License binary file generated in License Portal should be moved to the server which is in
connection with the FSP3000C device. Then use the following command to copy the
license file to a device:
execute license-system copy-license-from server-type ip-address

server-ip-address <server-ip> filename <path-to-file> protocol
<protocol> user-id <user-id> password <password>
where:
• <server-ip> ip of the server from which the license file will be copied,
• <path-to-file> path to a license file on the server,
• <protocol> protocol used to copy the file (e.g. scp, ftp)
To install the license on the device use:
execute license-system install-license

To see features supported by the license manager and the number of licenses available, granted
and used by the device, use the following (operation mode)
show license-system licenses
The feature which requires the license can be used on the device only when the proper license is
available. Available licenses are automatically granted to the device when the feature needs to use
it. If no licenses are available to be granted, the proper alarm is raised.
Note: for correct functioning, it’s necessary to set the proper date on the device. Incorrect date on
device can result in license expired error occurrence. To check the currently set date, execute
show date-time time.
