Failed to add server: Maximum limit for Clean Access Servers supported has been reached.

I got the licence for NAC Server from PAK shipped with server, when i went to install the license for NAC Server is it gives me error

An error occurred while adding the license file. Licensed MAC Address does not match. CCA-OB-SERVER feature failed validation.

Has anybody face this issue before,or i m on the wrong path to install LIC for Server

Estela,

Did you use the MAC address of the CAM or the CAS when getting the license from the Licensing website?

Hi Estela,

The problem is on the MAc address used for the Server license.

Please note that ALL NCA licences are ALWAYS issued based on the Manager mac address, even the NAC Server license.

Please find this info here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/appliance/support_guide/license.html#wp42302.

There you can read:

Step 2 Log in as a registered CCO user and fill out the Customer Registration form found at the PAK Cisco Technical Support site: http://www.cisco.com/go/license. During customer registration, submit each PAK you receive and the MAC address of your Clean Access Manager (CAM) as follows:

•For CAM, or CAS, or CAS Failover (HA) licenses, submit the primary CAM's eth0 MAC address.

•For CAM Failover (HA) license only, submit the eth0 MAC address of the secondary CAM.

Warning The eth0 MAC address(es) entered for the Clean Access Manager must be in UPPER CASE (i.e. hexadecimal letters must be capitalized). Do not enter colons (":") in between characters.

So, at this moment i believe the only thing you can do is to open an Licensing Service Request with Cisco and ask for the re-issue of the license.

please provide the PAK related to the NAC Server and the NAC Manager eth0 MAC address.

HTH,
Tiago
