Hi,

I have two cat 9410 showing below license status

They are configured as stackwise virtual. What will happen after this time pass 28 days, 23 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds

Also do I need to register the smart license or not required ?

You have, potentially, two options: 

1. Downgrade to 16.6.X train because this train uses the "traditional" licensing regime.
2. Upgrade to 17.3.2 to use "New Deployment Method for Smart Licensing".

Hi Leo

Thanks for your reply

We are running now Version 16.12.03a

Is there any problem with my license. Is virtual stack could be affected suddenly ? it is the most thing I care about to not have my network down

Thanks

Cisco Smart Licensing is enabled starting from 16.9.X.  

If you do not have CSL then it should be fine -- Nothing is going to happen with VSS after the license has expired.

So I must downgrade to 16.6.X to avoid virtual stack cut or deactivated due to license ?

Or I'm Ok now as I'm not registering the two 9410 boxes ?

Nothing is going to happen.

You're logs will be "spammed" with reminders to turn on CSL -- that is all.
