  • It's always a good idea to keep backups of any licenses -- esp. non-factory licenses. Systems do fail, and it's nice to have proof of what the device had.

Copy your new IOS to device, then

conf t
boot system flash bootflash: cat4500e-universal.SPA.03.11.03a.E.152-7.E3a.bin
do write

Check your configuration

do show run | i boot

If you see there two or more boot statement, then delete all old statements:

no boot system flash bootflash:cat4500e-universalk9.SPA.03.04.04.SG.151-2.SG4.bin
do write

Now you should reboot your device.

reload

  • You won't loose license with update. Check your license after update and if there is any problem, you can boot previous IOS.
