HW-MODULE UPLINK SELECT command missing on 4507R+E Sup7-E IOS 15.1(2) SG4

[gchevalley]

We have a 4507R+E with dual Sup7-E's running IOS 15.1(2) SG4.  The license level is LANBase.  I am creating the initial configurations for the switch but cannot change the uplink state of the SFP ports on the supervisors.  I tried to run the command HW-MODULE UPLINK SELECT but it is not present.  These are the only option available under HW-MODULE.

switch(config)#hw-module ?
  module  Specify a linecard slot for the hw-module command
  slot    Specify a linecard slot for the hw-module command
  system  Specify the system parameter

Is this a license restriction?

On a 4507R+E, "hw-module uplink select all" is enabled by default, however, because you've got redundant Sup card, the uplink ports 3 & 4 are disabled permanently. 

This is because the backplane speed of the chassis is 48 Gbps.  So you can only use up to four (4) 10 Gbps interfaces.
