Hi,

IP base license does support IGMP Snoping, but if you need PIM and other advanced multicast features you need IP services license.  And yes you can upgrade from IP Base to IP services after you purchase the switch,

Hi,

2960 series switches are mainly layer-2 and not layer-2/layer-3 like 3560, 3750, 3850, etc.. 

So for 2960 series there is no IP services license and multicast is limited to IGMP Snooping

from the data sheet:

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 MLD v1 and v2 Snooping provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limit bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors.
