Installing Ironport .xml license

[martino-cisco]

Hi All,

I received an Ironport license as an .xml file. I haven't received one in .xml format before and I'm not sure how to go about it. Does copying and pasting the content into the CLI work?

Instructions were given but i don't fully get them. This is a virtual appliance.

Any suggestions please?

[Robert Sherwin]

Yes - please see the following KB article to step you through the process:

https://ironport.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1925/kw/VESA

If you have any issues, questions - let me know.

I hope this helps!

-Robert

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your response. The document I found in that link only tells me to follow the instructions in the email to install the license key. So it doesn't give me any clarity. I really just want to know if you can copy and paste the contacts of an .xml file into the CLI of the Ironport. I'm not sure because of all the tags in the xml file like <mtu> and things like that.

Yes - the tail end of the article shows that in step 17... just copy the entire XML file once you load it in your text editor... and paste it in as shown... 

virtual_esa.local> loadlicense

1. Paste via CLI

2. Load from file

How would you like to load a license file?

Thanks Robert. I appreciate it

It's late to contribute but I will contribute anyway...

Extract the license and rename the extracted file to license.xml

Best for me is to use the Windows10 FTP client.

Depends with your WSA installation if you chose to enable FTP.

1. Run windows FTP client.

     C:\WINDOWS\system32>ftp.exe

2. Connect to the WSA, mine is on 192.168.12.50

 Use "open" command

3. Unzip the license sent from Cisco and copy it to the WSA.

Mine is in the downloads folder.

4. change directory to the configuration directory.

5. Use "put" command specifying the location of your license file.

Again mine is in downloads.

6.Install using option 2 on the WSA cmdline.

Press space bar a few times

7. Done, I hope it helps.
