Hello.
I've got a stack from two WS-C3750G-48TS-S and one WS-C3750G-12S-S.
All switches have IOS c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE.bin
Now we have bought
WS-C3750X-12S-E (c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-58.SE2 ipservices)
WS-C3750X-48T-S (c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE5 ipbase)
I connected them to stack, but stack don't add them.
sh switch
Switch/Stack Mac Address : 0017.e0c3.3e80
H/W Current
Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State

so, as I understand I need install the same IOS on all switches, so I have to buy IP Services license for switch which now is IP Base
Send an email to licenses@cisco.com. Include the S/N of all your appliances you need to upgrade to IP Services and ask them to generate a 30-day trial license.
This way, you can get your stack running while you go about organizing the purchase of the real license.

Hello,
test firstly if the c3750X with ipservices license can be included in the stack with the right IOS version.

The IOS are different.
Your stack should have the same IOS and feature set.
Downgrade the IOS to 12.2(55)SE7 and use IP Base Feautre set.

IP Base is not acceptable cause we need OSPF and vrf
And one of new switch has IOS c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE5 (ipservices) but it doesn't connect to stack

IP Base is not acceptable cause we need OSPF and vrf
If you want OSPFv1, then IP Base is acceptable. If you want OSPFv2 or v3, then you need IP Service Feature Set.
3750X will never support VRF, only VRF-lite.
And one of new switch has IOS c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE5 (ipservices) but it doesn't connect to stack
Like I said, your entire stack must have the same IOS versions and the same Feature Set. IF either one is different, the switches will split.

we need vrf-lite - my fault
so, as I understand I need install the same IOS on all switches, so I have to buy IP Services license for switch which now is IP Base

If you want OSPFv2 or OSPFv3, then you need IP Services licenses.
Send an email to licenses@cisco.com and they'll get back to you very quickly.
NOTE: I don't remember if it's license@cisco.com or licenses@cisco.com. But email both.

Hello,
Your IOS version can be identical but you also need ipservices license in your new switches. Can you post show lic output command?.
I think that your current stacked switches are running advanced routing features and your new swiches do not have license to run this
features.

three 3750G have ipservices IOS, one new 3750X has ipservices license, but another one has IP Base license
So it seems to me I can install the same IOS on three old and new switches, but for fifth I have to buy Ip Services licens

Yes. It's first that I'll try to do. If it'll be OK, than upgrade remaining switsh from ipbase to ipservices
