Exporting a license file

Edit online

You can export a license (.zip) file from the Copy Services Manager GUI that contains the installed product licenses.

About this task

You can use the export license feature to transfer full licensed support to another server.

Use these steps to export a license (.zip) file from the Copy Services Manager GUI:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Copy Services Manager GUI as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. In the menu bar, click Settings > Advanced Tools. The Advanced Tools panel is displayed.
  3. Scroll down to locate the Copy License Key or Export License section of the panel. Click Export.
    Note: If no license file is available for export, a status message is displayed saying so.
    When you click Export, the server creates and stores a compressed (.zip) file of all the license information in the <path_prefix>/csmServer/license directory.
    When the license data is exported, the file name and location on the management server appears as a link. You can click the link to download the exported licenses to the server on which the web browser is running. You can import the file when you click Update Licenses from the Copy Services Manager GUI on another server.
