Add/Change Licenses

TelcoBridges uses a license-based approach to activate various software or hardware functions in Toolpack or the underlying hardware. When installing Toolpack, implementing new software capabilities, or following the addition of a hardware module, you may be required to add or modify a license. The following instructions will enable you to do so.

IMPORTANT: You will need to reboot the telecom unit to activate the new license.

For Toolpack v2.5 or above

The new host control feature allows license update using the Web Portal.

• Add/Change_Licenses_2-5

For Toolpack v2.5 or below

Adding licenses

• Copy the new licenses in the license directory.

Unix:
 cp [MyNewLicense][InstallDir]/toolpack/pkg/licenses/
Windows:
 COPY [MyNewLicense][InstallDir]\toolpack\pkg\licenses\

Example:

Unix:
 cp ./TB002933_RELEASE_V2_3_1_RC3_license.dat /lib/tb/toolpack/pkg/licenses/
Windows:
 COPY ./TB002933_RELEASE_V2_3_1_RC3_license.dat C:\TelcoBridges\toolpack\pkg\licenses\

Updating licenses

• Overwrite the old license with the new one.
• Erase the .[TmediaSerial]_license_installed file.

Unix:
 cp [MyNewLicense][InstallDir]/toolpack/pkg/licenses/
 rm [InstallDir]/toolpack/pkg/licenses/.[TmediaSerial]_license_installed
Windows:
 COPY [MyNewLicense][InstallDir]\toolpack\pkg\licenses\
 DEL [InstallDir]\toolpack\pkg\licenses\.[TmediaSerial]_license_installed

Example:

Unix:
 cp ./TB002933_RELEASE_V2_3_1_RC3_license.dat /lib/tb/toolpack/pkg/licenses/
 rm /lib/tb/toolpack/pkg/licenses/.[TmediaSerial]_license_installed
Windows:
 COPY ./TB002933_RELEASE_V2_3_1_RC3_license.dat C:\TelcoBridges\toolpack\pkg\licenses\
 DEL C:\TelcoBridges\toolpack\pkg\licenses\.[TmediaSerial]_license_installed
