the stack can not be mixed license level,  all should be the same model/ version / License - correct the one, not in the same kind of license.

@balaji.bandi I understand licenses cannot be mixed but as i said earlier there is no righ-to-use command available.

unstack them(make it stand alone), post show version from each device to understand the issue.

I have another switch to install, and its not going in a stack. But it would replicate the same scenario as license right-to-use is not available in that too...working remotely

The command should be:

license right-to-use activate <whatever license you paid for>

HTH

Also, "show ver" should show you the current, installed license.
