ACI and Nexus 9k Legacy license

[John.Mayer]

Hi Everyone,

Actually, I have a customer who bought C1 licenses for Nexus 9500 and Nexus 9300 switches couple of years ago.

Licenses are C1F2PNEX9500AK9 and C1F2PNEX9300AK9, where both of them already discontinued. and there is not ant related docs on Cisco website to activated them.

Does anyone know how can I activate them or Should I have to migrate them to new ACI licenses.

Regards

John

Hi @John.Mayer 

I guess you can open a case with cisco licensing and see if they can assist you with converting them for ACI. It's the easiest way.

Stay safe,

Hi

by any chance do you know the way to use this licenses even on old os versions

Hi @John.Mayer 

First the licenses on Nexus 3k/9k are honour based, meaning you don't have to have them installed/activated.

However, here is the documentation how to use the licenses: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/licensing/guide/cisco-nx-os-license-installation-guide/licensing-cisco-nx-os-software-features-.html

Take care,

Sergiu
