9800 WLC - Why are there no licenses in use?

[shadowplay101]

I have a few 2802 APs up and running, however "show license summary"  shows "No Licenses in Use"

It could take 20 - 30 min or more for them to show up.

Is there a way to force them to be displayed?

Thanks!

This might help you in regards to understanding the license for the 9800 controllers.  There is no way to "force" what you want to see.  You are better off looking at show ap summary and verifying the ap's are joined and then look at the license at the end of the day.

 The show ap summary show the ap's are joined. No issues with that.

My challenge is that I need to send a "Usage Report" to CSSM using the  Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU) 

I can't seem to send a "Usage Report" until the 9800 WLC displays the licenses being used under "License Usage"

It looks like I have other option other than to wait for the licenses to show up.

I agree... you have to wait until the controller has the data and talks to license portal.
