Add new features on Cisco vESA

[engahmedsaied]

Hello,

I have a VLN I have applied the license using loadlicense command 

then I got additional feature key on the same VLN, I tried to check for new keys from vESA but it gives no keys,

 <feature_key expiration="TIME" type="sophos">KEY</feature_key>

the above is what appear in license file but I have removed time and key to paste key 

I paste key in GUI but it gave error (malformed key)

We can add only new feature keys on appliance not vESA ?!

the only option is to loadlicense but this will remove existing license

For virtual ESA, you can only load license from the CLI using loadlicense.  This XML must contain all the features that you intend to have enabled at that time.  The vESA does not honor the 'ala-carte' style of license/feature keys, like the HW ESA does.

If you add a license/feature key later --- you will need to contact GLO to have your VLN (.xml) rebuilt in order to contain the newly added feature keys.
