I am getting ready to activate an NSO standby server and am curious about the order of operations here. The Smart licensing account has two licenses added:
NSO-platform-production
NSO-platform-production-standby
A license is already consumed by NSO-platform-production.
How will the Smart licensing server tell that I am activating a standby server when I activate the secondary.
Also, the smart-license NSO vm seems to fail to start when I have "ha" enabled in ncs.conf on the secondary server.
"show smart-license smart-agent start-status" shows as stopped, when "ha" is enabled in ncs.conf of the secondary server. Not sure why that is the case, and I am hesitant to add the license without this in the configuration without being sure what the criteria is for the licensing server to tell that the server being added is a standby server.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I learned two things here regarding Cisco Smart Licensing <shudder>:
- the Smart Licensing service only appears to run on a "master" NSO server
- Activating Smart Licensing is not required on slave servers
Once the slave server is talking to the master, the following commands shows that the master starts to consume a NSO-platform-production-standby" license
request smart-license show all
