Fresh license file needed when rebuilding both the PAN

[umahar]

We have 2 PAN/MNT and 2 PSNs in a cluster. Due to issues at VM level the customer wants to rebuild the Admin Nodes. We already built a fresh secondary admin node and joined to the cluster and are now planning to rebuild the primary admin node.

Since serial number of both the PANs would be new , will the license generated using the old serial number be invalid ?

You can re-host the licenses onto your new servers

First and foremost, you must have a current, non-expired license.

The best way to accomplish this is to log in to the Licensing Portal:

https://slexui.cloudapps.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Quickstart

Click on Licenses.  Choose the license you would like to assign to both ISE Admin Nodes.

Note that I have selected two licenses, Base and Advanced.  You can only select ONE LICENSE at a time.  To Re-Host a Base, Plus, Apex, and Device Admin License, you must do this four times.

Then click Actions > Rehost/Transfer...

A new window will appear requesting the information from your new VM Appliance (you must have already installed ISE on the appliance):

You can find this information on the new ISE by going to CLI and issuing the command show udi.

This is all found in the ISE Admin Guide.
