15 Modern Astribanks (with USB product id's 116x) contain capabilities
16 that may be licensed.
17
18 astribank_allow is used to upload/download the licensing information
19 to/from the device.
20
21 Uploading a valid license file to an Astribank, changes its capabili‐
22 ties. The change becomes effective after a firmware reset (either by
23 powering the device off and on again, or via the astribank_tool full
24 reset option).
25
26 Downloading license from the device, produces a valid license file for
27 its current capabilities. This may be backed up, so the device may be
28 later restored to its previous capabilities.
29
30 The license file contains both a human readable description of the
31 device capabilities for the end user and a hash of the licensing infor‐
32 mation used by Xorcom to generate/modify licensed capabilities.
33
34
36 -D device-path
37 Required. The device to read from/write to. This is
38 bus_num/device_num, where bus_num and device_num are the first
39 two numbers in the output of lsusb(8) or dahdi_hardware(8). On
40 older versions of this tool you needed a complete path to the
41 device, which would be /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, or
42 /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.
