Putting a license on a remote module

Putting a license on a remote module
In the NG release, you have several documented remote licensing commands:


cprlic put [-F outfile] <[-l inputfile] | host expdate signature sku/features> (to put a license on a remote module)
cprlic add <-l inputfile | host expdate signature sku/features> (adds license to the local repository)
cprlic print [-noheader] [-x] [-type] (print licenses in the local repository)
cprlic del [-F outputfile] (detaches central license from module)
cprlic rm (removes license from repository)
cprlic get (fetches license from remote module)
4.1 SP1 and later 4.1 service packs have similar commands:


fw rputlic object-name [putlic flags and license] (installs a license to remote module)
fw rgetlic object-name (gets licenses from a remote module)
fw rprintlic (shows license in repository)
Here is an example of how to use these commands. If you've never executed rgetlic or rputlic commands, you will get this on a rprintlic:

tweek[admin]# fw rprintlic Remote licenses repository file /opt/pkg/FireWall-1-strong.v4.1.SP-2/conf/RemoteLicenses.dat NOT FOUND

Let us get the the licenses off of our remote firewalls:

tweek[admin]# fw rgetlic mrtwig

Got next licenses from mrtwig:
Host Exp. Date Features
------------------------------------------------
10.0.43.42 30May2000 CPSUITE-EVAL-3DES-v41
tweek[admin]# fw rgetlic mrhat

Got next licenses from mrhat:
Host Exp. Date Features
------------------------------------------------
10.0.43.41 30May2000 CPSUITE-EVAL-3DES-v41
Now an fw printlic will show something:

tweek[admin]# fw rprintlic

Host Exp. Date Features
------------------------------------------------
10.0.43.41 30May2000 CPSUITE-EVAL-3DES-v41
10.0.43.42 30May2000 CPSUITE-EVAL-3DES-v41
I guess it's time to replace those FireWall-1 license keys! So let us do a remote putkey (the -o does an overwrite):


tweek[admin]# fw rputlic mrhat -o 10.0.43.41 30Aug2000 aBcDeFgH-iJkLmOpQ-rStUvWxY-z1234567 CPSUITE-EVAL-3DES-v41
