Hi,

To use these licenses you must have a smart account and access either to your satellite or cisco cloud.

prime infrastructure 3.x assurance lic  --> Its used by Cisco Prime infrastructure to maange APs

CISCO DNA Essentials Term Licenses  --> Cisco WLC will use it

AP perpetual network stack essentials --> To use more advanced features , example:  https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/global/da_dk/assets/training/seminaria-materials/Licenses-Networking-for-everybody-with-DNA.pdf

If your device are connected to cisco cloud/smart account then: 

If devices are using it then you will see IN USE else 0 will be there(Meas Cisco wlc or prime is not using these licenses).
