Managing ACE Appliance Licenses
Note This functionality is available for only Admin contexts.
Cisco offers licenses for ACE appliances that let you increase performance throughput, the number of
default contexts, SSL TPS (transactions per second), and HTTP compression performance. For more
information on these licenses, refer to the Administration Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine
on cisco.com.
You can view, install, remove, or update ACE appliance licenses using the ACE Appliance Device
Manager.
Installing or updating an ACE appliance license involves two processes:
• Copying the license from a remote network server to the disk0: file system in Flash memory on the
ACE appliance.
• Installing or updating the license on the ACE appliance.
You can use the ACE appliance Device Manager to perform both processes from a single dialog box. If
you previously copied the license to disk0: on the ACE by using the copy CLI command, you can use
this dialog box to install the new license or upgrade license on your ACE.
