Backup Nexus license (.lic) files?

Is there a way to configure NCM to backup Cisco Nexus license key files? The keys are not part of the running or startup configuration, fyi.

We are running NCM v7.1.1. Any ideas? Thanks...

sure. you just need to ensure you have a tftp file server to copy it to

It's pretty straightforward, NCM allows you to create a scheduled job to run a command script on selected nodes - I don't think it's available via the web interface yet though. In the Windows NCM program, from the Quick Start page click on Scheduled Jobs, then choose Actions | Create New Job. The Wizard will walk you thorough the job setup etc, just choose the Execute Command Script on Devices option.

Unfortunately the NX-OS isn't that good when it comes to dealing with wildcards (i.e. it doesn't ) so you'll have to enumerate the actual filename to copy it to a TFTP server:

copy bootflash:license_SSI142811V3_8.lic tftp://x.x.x.x vrf default (where x.x.x.x is the name of your TFTP Server) should do the trick.
