Hello colleagues,
Could you please help me with one small question. I'm installing 10G license on ME-3600X-24FS-M. This is what I've got before installation:
Switch# sh license
...
Index 3 Feature: 10GEUpgrade
Period left: 8 weeks 4 days
License Type: Evaluation
License State: Active, Not in Use, EULA not accepted
License Count: Non-Counted
License Priority: None
Switch#
After the license was installed:
Switch#sh license
....
Index 3 Feature: 10GEUpgrade
Period left: Life time
License Type: Permanent
License State: Active, Not in Use
License Count: Non-Counted
License Priority: Medium
Switch#
My question is - why license state is Not in Use. There is no sfp+ installed in the switch. Could this be the reason?
Kind regards,
Oleg Krasnov

Hi Oleg,
you would need to change the SDM template for this... (sdm prefer 4 or 3 )...by default the I/O mode is 1 and thus, you will be seeing the 10GEupgrade feature as "Not in Use".
refer link for detailed explanation:
Also, refer to below link for details on license types on ME3600X:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps6568/ps10956/data_sheet_c78-601946.html
you can check your devices current I/O mode by giving "show sdm prefer" cmd.
hope this answers ur query.

Hi Suma,
Thanks for your help!
Changing of SDM template covers ME 3600-24CX configuration and this configuration is not valid for ME 3600-24FS-M, that I use.
There is no such options in ME-3600-24FS-M:
Switch#sh sdm prefer ?
current show current template configuration
default show default template configuration
ip show ip template configuration
Switch#
BR,
Oleg

The problem is this:
The output is quite misleading on the 3600’s .
It’s says evaluation and not in use.

Plugging in the SFP module will trigger the license and you will be able to use it afterwards.

Most likely you need to buy a new 10G licence and activate it on the switch.
