Huawei AR1200 Series User Manual

If you purchase a new device, you must also purchase a GTL license file to obtain
authorization to use the service modules you require. After the GTL license file has been
activated, the license-controlled service modules can be used.
l Activating an updated GTL license file
If a device has a previously activated GTL license file that has expired, you must apply for
a new GTL license file, update the old file, and then activate the new file. If a GTL license
file is not updated and expires, functions are disabled and services are interrupted.
Before updating a GTL license file, check whether you must apply for a new GTL license.
If the authorization value of the new GTL license file is smaller than that of the current
GTL license file, an interactive message is displayed to prompt you whether to activate the
new GTL license file.
– If you enter Y, the system informs you of a GTL license file update success.
– If you enter N, the system informs you of a GTL license update failure, and displays
the status of the current GTL license file.
Before activating a GTL license file, check that the extension of the GTL license file name is .dat.
After obtaining a GTL license file, use a notepad program like Windows Notepad to check
whether the ESN on the MPU is the same as that in the GTL license file.

The extension of the GTL license file name is .dat.
