# License file installation

This section describes what you must do after you generate the license file.

After you obtain the license file, you must install the license file on the switch to unlock the licensed features.

You can install a license file in flash memory or on a TFTP server.

Provided that you name the license file in accordance with accepted file naming conventions, you can apply your choice of file name and extension to a license file generated on the Avaya licensing portal.

Do not specify a license file location—the system records and stores the license file name while you copy the license file to the switch.
