license PAK upgrade

[arvin.salazar]

Hey guys,

Anyone know the process of performing a license upgrade from ipbase to enterprise?

I have Cat4507 R-E however their Sups are SUP 6L-E 10GE which I believe is already EOL.

Can you share the commands needed and if its OK to proceed using these old supervisors?

Thanks

The Cisco Catalyst 4500E uses a right-to-use (RTU) licensing model. RTU is a trust-based licensing model designed to give customers the flexibility to upgrade, downgrade, or move the license for RMA purpose by using simple EXEC CLI commands.

• Cisco IOS® XE Software LAN Base: This feature set on the bundles provides Layer 2 features for access.
• Cisco IOS XE Software IP Base: This feature set is upgradable with a software activation license (SAL). It includes all Layer 2 features and some basic Layer 3 features. ISSU and SSO are supported in this package.
• Cisco IOS XE Software Enterprise Services: This feature set is upgradable with a SAL; it supports full Layer 3 protocols and advanced features such as complete routing scalability, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF), Policy-Based Routing (PBR), and so on.

These features can be enabled using the software-licensing mechanism. For details about software licensing, refer to the "Licensing" section later in this document or visit http://www.cisco.com/go/sa.
