L-PILMS42-KIT	Prime Infrastructure - LMS License Kit	1	Where we have to installed this license
L-PI2X-BASE	Prime Infrastructure 2.x Base License	1	This License has done
L-PI2X-LF-100	Prime Infrastructure 2.x - Lifecycle - 100 Device Lic	2	This License has done

The LMS license is included with Prime Infrastructure in case you want to run LMS on a separate server. If you aren't doing that, the LMS license is unused. LMS cannot coexist on the same server with Prime Infrastructure.

Cisco has been including it at no cost since PI has yet to catch up to LMS feature parity.

Hi Marvin,

Waiting for your feedback

Hi Syed,

Like Marvin mentioned before, the LMS license is included with PI only in case that you want to build a new server running LMS 4.2 .

The reason you have two License files is because Prime Infrastructure is integrating some of the
features of LMS but not all of them and for that reason Cisco is providing both License
files, so that you can build two servers (if necessary) and have full functionality.

Eventually Prime Infrastructure  will have all LMS features and both applications will be combine into one. 

So, that LMS license should be not be installed on Prime Infrastructure.

Hope it helps!

What version of PI have you installed? Prior to 2.2, PI did not by default display and syslog messages other than severity 0-2.

I've used PI of various release levels and successfully receive display and filter syslog messages from Nexus 7k core switches.

Likewise Netflow export from 7k to PI works ok for me. You do need the Assurance license.

Hi Marvin,

We are using PI 2.1 and we don't have assurance license.

What if we install LMS 4.2 in other separate server it will work for Nexus7 netflow and logs? if yes then we will go with also LMS 4.2A we have license and everything for LMS 4.2A.

Your reply will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Ahmed.
