Licensing

Last published : Sep 22, 2026
A valid license file should be installed on the NetScaler appliance. The license should support at least as many Gbps as the expected maximum Gi-LAN throughput.
License files should be copied through an SCP client to the /nsconfig/license of the appliance, as shown in the screen capture below.
EXample:
shell ls /nsconfig/license/

CNS_V3000_SERVER_PLT_Retail.lic ssl
Do a warm restart to apply the new license, as shown in the screen capture below.
EXample:
reboot -warm

Are you sure you want to restart NetScaler (Y/N)? [N]:y

Done
After the restart completes, verify that the license has been properly applied, by using the show license CLI.
In the example below a 3Gbps Premium license has been successfully installed.
Example:
> show license
