LIT Overview
What is the License Installation Tool?

The License Installation Tool (LIT) installs a RFA license file on the following Avaya systems
running Release 10 or higher software:
● Avaya DEFINITY Server csi with the TN2402
● Avaya DEFINITY Server si with the TN2404
● Avaya DEFINITY Server r with the Un332C
When do I not use LIT?

Do not use LIT when:
● You have a direct connection from the RFA tool to the switch using Connect2
Issue 2.0 November 2004 1

● You are working on any of the following switches:

- DEFINITY ONE
- IP600
- Avaya S8100 Media Server
- Avaya S8300 Media Server
- Avaya S8500 series Media Servers
- Avaya S8700 series Media Servers
Requirements
You must have the following to use LIT:
● Network connections
- Internet connection: The internet connection is used to download the license file from
RFA to your computer. Ensure that you understand your network’s firewall protections,
including restrictions on downloading executable files.
- Switch-to-computer connection(s) through the Control LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack or the
Terminal Server.
Note:
Note: Connectivity to the switch for LIT is the same connectivity options and setup as

Depending upon whether you have a connection to the DEFINITY Server from the RFA tool,
you will deliver the License File according to Table 4:
Table 4: License file delivery and installation methods
Connection between RFA Delivery Method Do I use LIT?

and the DEFINITY Server
Yes Download license using No

RFA Direct Connection
No Use RFA to download or Yes
email the license to your
computer
Obtaining an RFA license file

The RFA Users Guide contains detailed information on obtaining a RFA license file using Direct
Connection, email, or downloading a file directly to your computer. The RFA Users Guide can
be found on the RFA Information page.
Note:
Note: Older versions of email servers or mail clients strip the license file attachment into
an encrypted text message that will not install properly. If your email server is
corrupting the file, go back to RFA and download the license file directly to your
computer.

Remember where the file is, you will need it later.
! CAUTION:
CAUTION: Do not open the license file: the file will be corrupted and will not install
successfully.

What causes license file installation failures for Avaya DEFINITY Servers?
For Avaya DEFINITY Servers r, si, and csi, the license file will fail if:
● The processor serial number in the license file does not match the serial number of the
processor installed on the system.
● There is an offer category mismatch between the license and the translation.
● There is a software version mismatch between the license file and the system.
● The license file is unreadable, cannot be decrypted, has the wrong length, has the wrong
checksum, or has other format errors.
● The system time is not set on the Date and Time form (set time).
● The license is expired.
● There is an IP product defined in translation that is not defined in the license and when the
system attempts to remove the IP product from translation, it is in use.

Troubleshooting LIC-ERR alarms
Alarming strategy
Whenever the system detects a problem with the license file, or there is no license file installed,
the system generates a major alarm that is logged in the Alarm Log. To view the Alarm Log:
1. From the SAT, type display alarms, press Enter
The Alarm Report screen appears.

2. Type lic-file in the Category field or select it from the help menu for that field.
3. If the alarm has been resolved, type y in the Resolved field or select it from the help menu
for that field.
If the alarm is new, skip this step.
4. Press Enter.
The Hardware Error Report -- Active Alarms screen appears.
5. Check the report for LIC-ERR or NO-LIC errors in the MTC Name (Maintenance Name)
field.
6. If there is also a number in the Err Type (Error Type) field, record that number and look up
its meaning in the respective maintenance object.
LIC-ERR alarms during periodic checking

When the switch initializes and hourly after that, the system checks the parameters in the
license file. The following table shows the error messages that you can encounter as a result of
these periodic checks and the associated License-Error and No-License modes.
Successful resolution of the license file alarms will put the switch in License-Normal mode. For
more information about when this occurs, go to When does a switch return to License-Normal
mode? on page 32.

Serial number mismatch

What happens when there is a serial number mismatch depends on why the mismatch occurs.If
the mismatch occurs while trying to install a license file:
● The serial number in the license file does not match the processor serial number
● The switch cannot communicate with the standby SPE (duplicated systems only). The
switch generates an error against the carrier containing the standby SPE. To clear this
error, go to the Clearing standby SPE errors on page 30.
If either of the above scenarios are true, then:
● The license file will not install
● The system remains in the current license mode. If the system is in:
- License-Error mode, normal call processing continues until the countdown timer expires.
- No-License mode, normal call processing is blocked until the serial number mismatch is
resolved.
If the mismatch occurs because you perform a processor swap-out, and the processor that is in
the system no longer matches the serial number in the license file:
● Normal call processing continues
● The system enters License-Error mode
● A major alarm is sent
● A countdown timer starts - you must replace the old processor or install a new license file
within the allotted time period
Clearing standby SPE errors

If the switch cannot communicate with the standby SPE, you must clear the error against the
LIC-ERR maintenance object:
1. Type display errors and press Enter.
Set the Category field to lic-file and press Enter to display only the license file errors in the
Error Log.
2. If the Err Type field is 1, then the A carrier serial number does not match.
If the Err Type field is 257, then the B carrier serial number does not match.
3. If the Error Log points to the standby carrier, check to see whether the standby SPE is in
standby mode using the status spe (G3r), or status system 1 (G3si) command.

a. If the standby SPE is in standby mode, then type test license long, and press
Enter.
The test should pass unless the standby SPE exits the standby mode before the test
completes. If so go to step b, or the serial number really doesn’t match the license file.
b. If the standby SPE is not in standby mode, wait for it to enter standby mode (no more
than 15 minutes for G3r and 1 hour on G3si, if there are no SPE alarms).
If there are SPE alarms, resolve them and wait for the standby SPE to enter the standby
mode.
Return to step a and re-run the test.
Test license command

You can run this command to test a license file on demand instead of waiting for the switch’s
periodic check, which can take up to one hour. For example, if a system went into License-Error
mode because too many IP stations were administered, you could run this command
immediately after removing the extra IP stations, and the switch will return to License-Normal
mode.

PASS N/A The switch is in License-Normal mode

FAIL 1 The switch is in License-Error mode
FAIL 2 The switch is in No-License mode
When does a switch return to License-Normal mode?

Remember, the system checks once each hour to ensure that:
● The serial number in the license file matches the serial number in the system.
● All features and capacities are within the prescribed limits as determined by comparing the
value assigned to a given field with the value of the used field in the system-parameters
customer-options form.
● A Survivable Remote Processor is not serving as the active processor.
● A WAN Spare Processor is not serving as the active processor.
You might have to wait for up to 1 hour after you correct the problem before the system returns
to License-Normal mode.
Note:
Note: It can take up to 24 hours to read the standby serial number. So, on a duplicated
system, it can take up to 24 hours before the system returns to License-Normal
mode.
Where can I get more information?

Please refer to the Avaya Maintenance documentation for information on interactions between
license files and switches, and on how to troubleshoot license file problems.
