STEPS TAKEN FOR TROUBLESHOOTING:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
            

STEP 1 :

            
            

Check if the license file is saved in the .lic format

            
            

STEP 2 :

            
            

Try uploading the license from the GUI: Go to "Maintenance" >> "Licensing" >> "Import License" Select "Controller Type" as "Active" >> Select the License File >> Click on "Import License" button to start the Import Process.

            
            

STEP 3:

            
            

If the import is still not successful, try using a different browser and check if you are able to upload the license.

            
            

STEP 4 :

            
            

Try importing the license via CLI using an FTP server.

            
            

 

            
            

meru#config terminal

            

meru(config)#license ftp://username:password@x.x.x.x/filename.lic active
            where x.x.x.x is the ip address of the FTP server.

            
            

STEP 5:

            
            

Verify the date of issuance of the license and check the date set in the controller and make sure that the date of issuance is ahead or the same date as that of the controller's date. If the date is not set correctly try updating the date of the controller by using the syntax #calendar set

            
            

 

            
            

Meru# calendar set <MM/DD/YYYY> <hh:mm:ss>
            After executing the command it will give the message as
            This command requires a controller reboot. Do you want to Proceed [yes/no]
            Say "yes".
            This will help you in updating the time in the controller.

            

Try importing the license file again to the controller. This should fix the issue. Once after importing the license successfully verify the license file under the View License option.

            
            

RESOLUTION :

            
            

Verify the license file format, Try with different browser, try importing the license via FTP from CLI, check the date set in the controller is correct. These should help you in uploading the license file.
