Question:

• How do I upload a new license to a WebDefend appliance that is in stand-by mode?

Procedure:

To manually load the license on a standby WebDefend appliance: 

1. Using a program such as WinSCP, copy the license to the standby WebDefend appliance to /home/bgse/pub
2. SSH to the standby appliance as bgse, then "su -" and login as root
3. Change to the directory:
    
   cd /home/bgse/pub
    
4. Copy and rename the license to the correct file name (assume for this example that the uploaded license file is 2A43C.lic):
   
   # cp 2A43C.lic /usr/local/opt/breach/breach.lic

Notes:

The filename MUST be breach.lic
