Hi Santosh,

You already have permanent ipbase license installed on both switch.  The licensed is installed once, and it will carry over to the new image (c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-53.SE2.bin) you are trying to install. So before you stack them make sure to upgrade the IOS.  Both switches need to have the same exact IOS.  Once the upgrade is done you are ready to tack them.  follow this link:
