9300T Stack - Reserved Licensing

[James Davies]

I have a stack of 9300Ts, I went to license the stack with smart reservartion, overly complicated, but I got the license on there, only problem is, I should of licensed each switch first , before I stacked, I get:

Sep  9 09:23:30.776: %SMART_LIC-3-RESERVE_HA_FAILURE: The license reservation in formation on the active and standby does not match. Licensing HA will not work properly:

Reservation type in active and standby does not match

I know why this is showing, but I cant do anything about it, I cant break the stack and for some reason I cant find a command to manage the stack member,. I need to combine 2 licenses into 1, which I have seen how to do it, but I need to get on the stack member as a single unit to produce the code.

it is very annoying that the licensing works like this,  the next time I built a stack, I reserved 2 licenses, but it still has the issue as I can only apply 1 license to the Stack.

Any assistance is appreciated,

Technically the stack should take care of the License, some time it odd with this smart License, contact License team, they are fast and quick to resolve the issue, they are very helpful.

any way you have 90days to use and contact them, so you do not loose anything now.

The license team from Cisco dont seem to have a clue! this really is something so simple, yet Cisco dont know the answer, its very fustrating,The Stack did not take care of the licensing, if the switch standby becomes active, you get this HA licensing error.

surely someone has done license reservation on a stack.

Thanks
