Cisco MDS 9132T license installation command error.

[Cassiano Penteado]

Hi,

I'm installing a MDS 9132T switch and when I try to install the licenses, I get the error below:

test_1(config)#install license bootflash:MDSXXX3010916524XXXX.lic

% Invalid command at '^' marker.

Regards,

as I remember you need to install nonconfig mode

test_1#install license bootflash:MDSXXX3010916524XXXX.lic  (not in config t mode)

Hi,

It doesn't work either.

test_1#install license bootflash:MDSXXX3010916524XXXX.lic

% Invalid command at '^' marker.

I am not understanding what is happening.

when I use TAB the command does not complete.

test_1## install?
install Upgrade software

test_1# install license?
^
% Invalid command at '^' marker.

Thanks
