Restore Licenses

Configuration > Network > Switch > License Management page of the WebUI to import licenses from
the license database to the new switch.
(host) #license import <filename>
Do not save the configuration or write to memory at the end of this step.
Reboot the Switch
Once all the licenses have been restored, issue the reload command in the command-line interface or navigate
to Maintenance>Reboot Switch in the WebUI to reboot the new switch. After rebooting, the switch should
not be on the network (or a reachable subnet) with the switch it will replace. This is to prevent a possible IP
address conflict.

(host) #reload
