Cisco 3850 activate ipservices license

[Ajin Skariah]

I have 2 3850 stacked switches running on ipbase license. I want to activate ipservices on both the switches. How can I achieve it? When I issued license-right-to-use detail, I can see that ipservices peirod left is lifetime and state is not activated. Does this means I can update it with the command license right-to-use activate ip-services all accepteula ? The show commands output given below.

I have the same question. It's not quite clear from the blog post. In my case the output of show license right-to-use detail is:

           Period left: Lifetime
           License Type: permanent
           License State: Not Activated
           License Count: Non-Counted
           License Location: Slot 1
Index 2:  License Name: ipservices
           Period left: 90
           License Type: evaluation
           License State: Not Activated

           License Location: Slot 1
Index 4:  License Name: ipbase
           Period left: 90
           License Type: evaluation
           License State: Not Activated
           License Count: Non-Counted
           License Location: Slot 1
Index 5:  License Name: lanbase

           License Count: Non-Counted
           License Location: Slot 1
Index 6:  License Name: apcount
           Period left: 90
           License Type: evaluation
           License State: Not Activated
           License Count: 50
           License Location: Slot 1
Index 7:  License Name: apcount
           Period left: Lifetime
           License Type: base
           License State: Not Activated
           License Count: 0
           License Location: Slot 1
Index 8:  License Name: apcount
           Period left: Lifetime
           License Type: adder
           License State: Not Activated
           License Count: 0
           License Location: Slot 1

What does this mean? Can I just activate the ipservices license for both of the swiches in the stack? Do I need to order a new ipservices license?

Hi Bavarian,

You can just activate the ipservices license using the command license right-to-use activate ipservices.
