Applying an Upgrade License on the HSM

The license string file you downloaded from the GLP (see Activating a License on the Thales Licensing Portal) is used to apply your HSM upgrade. The HSM Security Officer must complete this procedure.

NOTE   Ensure that you have the license string file that is registered to the correct HSM serial number.

To apply an upgrade license on the HSM

1.Open a command prompt, navigate to the directory containing the license string file, and use scp/pscp to transfer it to an admin-level account on the SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance (see SCP and PSCP).

Windows: pscp [options] <license_file> admin@<host/IP>:

>pscp 532989_15_partitions admin@192.168.11.78:
admin@192.168.11.78's password:
 
532989_15_partitions      | 0 kB |   0.3 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%

Linux/UNIX: scp [options] <license_file> admin@<host/IP>:

>scp 532989_15_partitions admin@192.168.11.78:
admin@192.168.11.78's password:
 
532989_15_partitions      | 0 kB |   0.3 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%

2.Connect to the appliance via SSH or a serial connection, and log in to LunaSH using the admin-level account that received the file (see Logging In to LunaSH).

3.Log in as HSM SO (see Logging In as HSM Security Officer).

lunash:>hsm login

4.[Optional] Confirm that the HSM fingerprint matches the one in the license string (sysconf fingerprint license). If this string does not match, the upgrade will not be applied.

lunash:>sysconf fingerprint license

lunash:>sysconf fingerprint license
