OS10 license backup format vs installation format

Hi,

Documentation suggests when backing up a license you get a ".lic" file.

But all the documentation I've seen for restoring/installing a license in OS10 suggests you need a ".xlm" format.

What gives? I mean, imagine I have a switch with a current active license (permanent) and I want to backup said licence to install after an OS upgrade, since the upgrade procedure wipes your current the license.

Hi,

 

The documentation of doing back up, (https://dell.to/3W7iHFC), where the file .lic is used during restoration in sudo mode. 

 

The article (https://dell.to/3JO0YMl) where the file .xml is obtain via DDL (Dell Digital Locker) account. You can obtain the file from the DDL login. Usually, most users/admins use this method to restore license.
