Installing IPservices license 3750X

[ivan.chavira1]

Hi Guys,

I had to change a failed stack member (3750X stack) and i had trouble joining it until i matched the IPservices license on it but it's on Evaluation only for this member, my question here is if it's possible to install a permanent license only for this member from the master stack and how?

Hello,

did you go to http://www.cisco.com/web/go/license and register the switch with the product and serial numbers ? Once you have done that, copy the license file to the flash of your member switch and load it from flash as described in this document:

Once you received a your PAK though email go http://www.cisco.com/web/go/license as instructed in the pack. If you have multiple licences available you can only select 1 at a time, enter 1 in [Qty] box

then click [All Done]

This should take you to the next page where your “show version” will come in handy. So looking at this page you need product number and serial number, now look at “show version” and you will have several options to choose from. So the information you need for each switch is:

Model number : WS-C3750X-48PF-S =Product number

System serial number : FDO******** = Serial number

If you accidentally use another serial number e.g. of the motherboard then it will still generate a license file but will not install in the switch.
