Obtaining and Installing the License Key Using the CLI

Note You cannot install an older license key over a newer license key.

Use the copy source-url license_file_name license-key command to copy the license key to your sensor.

The following options apply:

• source-url—The location of the source file to be copied. It can be a URL or keyword.

• destination-url—The location of the destination file to be copied. It can be a URL or a keyword.

• license-key—The subscription license file.

• license_file_name—The name of the license file you receive.

The exact format of the source and destination URLs varies according to the file. Here are the valid

types:

• ftp:—Source URL for an FTP network server. The syntax for this prefix is:

ftp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename

ftp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename

Note You are prompted for a password.

• scp:—Source URL for the SCP network server. The syntax for this prefix is:

scp://[[username@]location][/relativeDirectory]/filename

scp://[[username@]location][//absoluteDirectory]/filename

Note You are prompted for a password. You must add the remote host to the SSH known hosts list.

• http:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is:

http://[[username@]location][/directory]/filename

Note The directory specification should be an absolute path to the desired file.

• https:—Source URL for the web server. The syntax for this prefix is:

https://[[username@]location][/directory]/filename
