Installing the Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 License File
You must have a license file in a directory on the Cisco AR machine before you attempt to install Cisco
AR software. After purchasing Cisco AR, you will receive a license file in an e-mail attachment. Save
or copy this license file to a directory on the Cisco AR workstation. If you have not installed the Cisco
AR license file before beginning the software installation, the installation process will fail.
You can store the Cisco AR license file in any directory on the Cisco AR machine. During the installation
process, you will be asked the location of the license file, and the installation process will copy the
license file to the /opt/CSCOar/license directory or to the base installation directory you specify when
you install the software if you are not using the default installation location.
The license file might have the name ciscoar.lic, but it can be any filename with the suffix .lic. To install
the Cisco AR license file, you can copy and paste the text into a file, or you can simply save the file you
receive in e-mail to an accessible directory.

This section describes the software installation process when installing Cisco AR software on a Solaris
