Installing a license file
Once you obtain a license file, you can do one of the following:
• Copy the license file to a TFTP server to which the Brocade device has access and then use
TFTP to copy the file to the license database of the ServerIron ADX device.
• Copy the license file to the ServerIron ADX internal flash memory and then add the license to
the ServerIron ADX license database.
Using TFTP to install a license file
To copy a license file from a TFTP server to the license database of the ServerIron ADX device, enter
a command such as the following at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
ServerIronADX#copy tftp license 10.1.1.1 lic.xml

The IP_address variable is the address of the IPv4 TFTP server.
