Q. Regarding Smart Licensing Eval Licensing Expiration on 3850 Stack

Evan Wheatley
Level 1
Level 1

I've got a stack paired of C3850-24T's running 16.12.05b. Smart licensing is enabled, but not currently registered. The eval licensing is due to expire in a couple of weeks. I'd just like to ensure that there will be no impact. We're working in getting all of our licensing sorted out, but will take a bit more than two weeks.

 

My research so far concludes we shouldn't be affected or impacted by the license expiry. Appreciate any advice

 

Thanks in advance!

Evaluation License for the IP Services Feature Set is totally different to Cisco Smart License.  

When the timer hits "0", the feature set will roll back to IP Base. 

CSL, however, is different and when the countdown timer hits "0", nothing will happen.  

Thanks Leo. So in my instance, and to confirm, this will need to be properly licensed within 18 days to avoid rolling the feature set back to IP Base?

Some additional output:

Configuration register is 0x102

 

 

Correct.  The IP Services Feature Set will roll back to IP Base Feature Set when the evaluation period ends.
