Description
This article describes how to upload VM license from CLI via FTP/TFTP server.

Solution
In certain scenarios, upload the VM license via an external FTP/TFTP server is needed but the GUI only allows to upload license from local machine.
The following command can be used to restore VM license via an external FTP/TFTP server:
# exec restore vmlicense ftp/tftp <license_file_name> <ip:port> <username> <password> Bezza-kvm44
# exec restore vmlicense tftp FGT.lic 10.47.1.117

This operation will overwrite the current VM license!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)y
Please wait...
Connect to tftp server 10.47.1.117 ...
Get VM license from tftp server OK.
VM license install succeeded. Rebooting firewall.
