CLI relicense for another add-on to existing base and add-on

Hi there, i'm trying to relicense my big-ip which has an existing base and add-on module. but now i want to apply another add-on module to those two. i've looked at the tech note for relicensing by using the cli:

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/2000/500/sol2595.html

 

however it doesn't seem to cover this case. does anyone know what the right steps or how to add another add-on license to an existing base and add-on? thanks!

  • have you tried -a option?

    [root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  get_dossier
    usage: get_dossier -b "basekey1,basekey2,..." -a "actkey1,actkey2,..." -i "inactkey1,inactkey2,..." [ -k  ] [ -v "  "]
    
  • Thanks nitass. I havent trief yet as i was concerned about the tech note comment: " When re-activating any existing license (including a license with an add-on registration key), specify only the base registration key in the get_dossier command."

     

    In my case should i specify both my existing base + add-on + new add-on with the get_dossier command?

    i think it means license which includes add-on key (add-on key is embedded in base registration key).

    i think so.
